One of my grandads was a ship builder, the dock yards were covered in those anti- aircraft attack balloons but the axis didnt ever try and bomb them - too far away. the closet they ever got was trying once to bomb the Forth Rail Bridge a mile down river, unsuccessfully but the RAF saw them off. "jolly good chaps" the RAF boys were cool:
He did tell us he saw some dog fights though and the locals in the village would pour out into the streets and watch, and cheer as the enemy planes got shot down.
My other grandad was a forrester and so didnt get called up either.
The only relative i had who fought in war was my great uncle from my dads side who was tail gunner in a stirling bomber - i posted on this site before about how his captain saved the crews life at the expense of his own and was awarded the posthumous VC.
