WWII Barrage Balloon Winch

A World War II barrage-balloon winch mounted on a low steel deck platform, finished in military olive drab. A large cable drum wound with steel line sits behind a heavy gear train, control levers, and equipment lockers, with a flat working deck and side stowage boxes.

This equipment piece adds authentic detail to a home-front air-defense, dockyard, or airfield diorama of the 1940s. It suits wargame scenery and model layouts depicting anti-aircraft sites where crews raised barrage balloons to deter low-flying attackers.
