Does anyone have a drawing or any reference for a French ca. 1918 captive kite balloon. French battleships at that time trunked the mainmasts short so that they could fly them for observation platforms.

That enough? I don't know what references Darth Panda based his drawing upon, maybe you best ask him.

No, this "rounded" balloon was a early model (pre WWI)
