USE BALLOONS AS
BUOYS TO MARK
AIR ROUTES
* -
LONDON, May 9— By A. 1*. —
Balloons are used as buoys above the
clouds to mark the course of the long
distance airplane mail service from
t Marquise, near Boulogne, France to
Cologne, Germany, says an announ
cement of the Koyal Air Force which
i.s operating this sendee. Fach balloon
is marked with signs to indicate to
the airplane pilot its exact locality
and thus enable the pilot to shape
their course anew when the weather is
bail or the clouds are very low. The
balloons are lequired to report the
! condition of weather above the cloud
| layer, the speed and direction ot wind
and to pass this information to the
nearest wireless station for transmis
sion to the airplane pilots.
A chain of wireless stations nas
been organized along the routes lor
the transmission of weather reports
and if the pilot of an airplane is com
pelled to make a forced landing he
expected to report his location by
wireless or telephone, to the nearest
wireless station so that a motor truck
can be despatched to recover the mails
and render assistance to tiie airplane.
As it is the intention ot the Royal
Air Force to maintain a night mail
service on this route, a chain of light
houses also has been established and
later, it is announced the balloons will
be fitted for carrying signal lights
and remaing aloft at night as a furth
er guide to the pilots.
should a pilot loose his way in the
clouds . arrangements have been made
whereby he will be able to get in com
munication with a wireless station
from which he can receive direction';
how to proceed to the nearest landing

ground. This wireless guidance is ex
pected to be useful in bad weather or
in night flying.
Emergency landing grounds have
boon located along the route in addi
tion to the regular terminals and the
airplanes carry pigeons to be used as
messengers in case of accident.
This through service from Mar
quise to Cologne presents difficulties
because of the range of hills 2,000
feet high-between the flat country of
Northern France and the valley of the
Rhine. This stretch of hilly country
has few places suitable for landing
and pilots flying above it frequently
encounter clouds and bad weather.
The Royal Air Force has for some
time been carrying mail regularly be
tween Marquise and Valencienes and
Namur, Belgium; and between Valen
ciennes and Spa, the headquarters of
the armistice commission.
