Title: Kite balloon, pilot change
Caption: Changing pilot and observer of the observation balloon of a Sixth Battle Squadron Battleship, in the North Sea, 1918. The pilot and observer ascend and descend by means of rigging and pulley, while the balloons remain aloft, thus saving much time and trouble, and leaving the ship's decks free from crowding.
