My mother was a WAF in the RAF and she was on the “barrage balloon detail” where they put large balloons up on heavy wires to bring down or detour German invaders.
This was me. I didn’t want to lose it, and we actually did live about a mile from an airport and could see planes buzzing around fairly low in the sky.

What about trees, CB? I believe you will have trouble with as you get older.

Actually, it takes a lot of skill to fly a kite that low.

Where there remote controlled toy airplanes in the 1950s? If so, are those the airplanes to which Charlie Brown is referring?

This is me flying a drone. They aren’t supposed to go higher than 400 ft, but you never know …

Charlie Brown was much better at kite flying in the early strips.

He should’ve stuck with the low flying kites in later life….

I’ve seen lower. Course, they were also considerably smaller. So in scale they were this high.
