japanese zero float bag

Sat Nov 08, 2008 5:50 pm

i read in the newest edition of "AVIATION HISTORY" magazine regarding info learned, from a zero shot down during pearl harbor. the magazine did a cut away showing the interior components of the zero. i was most intrigued by the fact that there was an inflatable float bag located behind the pilot's seat, that if deployed would keep the zeke afloat for a limited time. it's mentioned in the article too!! i never knew that!! any pics out their showing a float bag deployed on a zeke??
