That is an interesting WWII artifact. Of the many airmen who were shot
down, I wonder if any were able to make contact using this kite
supported antenna.

I would imagine many of those came on the surplus market at the
conclusion of the war. As a kid I found the local surplus store was a
treasure trove of interesting things. A pilot chute with the spring
mechanism removed and a decent fishing weight tied to the strings would
sail a long ways in a good wind. And I disassembled more than one tank
scope for those big solid glass prisms.

WW Two Times.
