This meant the balloons were simple to mass-produce and only cost 35 shillings each (approximately equivalent to £121 in 2025 [3]). The free flying balloon attacks were highly successful. Although difficult to assess exactly, their economic impact on Germany was far in excess of the cost to the British government. [2] [4] [5]
