Barrage balloon manufacture. Tugging a finished half of a barrage balloon into position for joining with the other half. These workers have come to the final assembly step in producing barrage balloons for American air defense. Four steps in final production are shown in this photo: the half-balloon they are dragging in; the nose of a ship on the right which is in the process of being deflated for packing and shipping; and the inflated balloon in the background which is being inspected for final okay before being shipped.
