"Yes, that was an idea carried over from the Komatsu-Zero from 1944 (long-overdue avref)", said OT. "Few people know of the Komatsu-Zero, it was a last-ditch effort by the Japanese when they realised they were losing the War, and additional airpower was needed. The Komatsu factory was instructed to start building Zeros, to assist the Mitsubishi Aircraft Company in aircraft output, as Mitsubishi alone was struggling to replace the number of Zeros lost to the Allies. However, Yoshihata Komatsu, as one of Japans greatest industrial engineers, thought he could improve on the Zero design (as it was reputedly, originally a suss American design, that a Japanese engineer bought the plans for, in a $2 store in Okinawa in 1937, after he found them in a secondhand American book, in said store) - and to that end, Komatsu decided the Zero design needed strengthening in a number of areas. The undercarriage was one area that obviously needed strengthening (as Komatsu had extensive undercarriage design experience), and also the seating was decidedly well below the Komatsu level of comfort and driver appeal. Accordingly, Komatsu redesigned the Zero undercarriage and seating, utilising as much of the available Komatsu parts line as possible, thus ensuring a far greater ability to withstand heavy landings (it was later often stated, that the undercarriage was built like a bulldozer) - and the vastly improved seating and comfort levels enabled the pilots to come home from an 8 hour mission, without being so dog-tired and sore-a**sed, they missed the airstrip completely (few people know this was a big factor in the substantial level of Mitsubishi Zero losses). Yoshihata Komatsu was feted throughout Japan for his great work in improving the Zero - and even though the Japanese lost the War (largely due to an inadequate number of Komatsu-Zeros), he went on, after WW2, to design some of the greatest examples of......

Captain Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) AS AN ASIDE - No wonder Turbo has his fixation about Epaulette, as below is a photo of a young 4-Bar Turbo with his hand on it, as usual, and about to destroy yet another Evinrude. But considering what a fine specimen Turbo was, and is, you can easily see why the CWA Coffee Shop waitress almost slips off her stool every time that he walks in. As the waitress knows, and as you can see from the facial expression on the blonde lady in the photo, Turbo really needs to wear shorts that are a little longer than those shown, to ensure that everything remains covered and suitably constrained.
