WW1 and WW2 they put balloons up to deter German airplanes.

Barrage balloons...

Many balloons with a bunch of cables hanging from them. If a plane hit a cable, they were gone. It at least made it harder to fly low-level, dodging the cables. Sometimes the cables had explosives on them.

If you look at a pic of the D-Day invasion force, the Allies had many barrage balloons over the fleet and landing beaches for the same reason.

Thank you for that link. Excellent.

Another source (and some repeats) are at archives.org

It would be cool to have some background on the various videos, like the ejection from the A-10; was it a test? The timecodes and watermarks are unnecessary.
