Marine Corps Barrage Balloons, Parris Island, S. C. 1942
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph captured by Alfred T Palmer during World War II, we are transported back to the year 1942 at Parris Island in South Carolina. The image showcases a remarkable display of Marine Corps barrage balloons that were deployed as part of America's defense strategy during the war. The vibrant colors and impeccable detail bring to life this historic moment in time. Against a backdrop of blue skies and fluffy white clouds, these massive balloons float majestically above the air base, serving as a visual deterrent against enemy aircraft. As symbols of strength and resilience, these barrage balloons represent the unwavering spirit of American armed forces during one of the most challenging periods in history. With their presence alone, they instill confidence among troops stationed below and provide protection for vital military installations. Alfred T Palmer's expertly composed still image captures not only the physicality but also the essence of this significant era. It serves as a reminder of our country's commitment to defending its values and preserving freedom. This photograph is an invaluable piece from Palmer's extensive collection held at the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration archives. Through his lens, he immortalizes an important chapter in American history while paying tribute to those who served with honor and bravery on Parris Island during World War II.
