Operation Outward
Though relatively famous, the Japanese Fu-Go balloon bombs did little damage. But there was another balloon operation, similar in concept, that proved much more effective, and yet is considerably less well known. On the other side of the world it was the British who turned to balloons to wreak havoc on their continental foes.
