Perhaps Major Boyington was not shot down and captured ... he may have mistakenly landed on an enemy carrier and was captured. Possible .. ? {sm2}

Robin, nice use of the sand bags to re-create that famous photo of the IJN carrier launching the Pearl Harbor raid. Well done. Chris

Robin's dio and Chris' comment got me thinking about the "bundles" that we see attached to the island-superstructure of IJN carriers. I had always assumed that they were some sort of flotation device for the crew were the vessel to be sunk. I was wrong. They were apparently futon mattresses that were lashed to the island to protect it from air attack. Interesting, and very Japanese.

Thanks Mike, LOJ is one of my core series, meaning I collect every release. Really like the colour in this range and the every day life aspect. Robin.
