| Fonctions : | This diagram is of a Japanese fire balloon; They contained an incendiary device with the purpose of being launched from Japan in 1944 and 1945 to be carried by wind currents across the Pacific; Once in North America the idea was these balloons would create forest fires across the West coast of Canada and America; They were largely ineffective; The diagram itself was produced by Canadian intelligence to identify these balloons in the future. |
