Carrier Islands
Was watching one of those History Channel progs the other day, when they showed some footage of Japanese planes taking off to bomb Pearl Harbour. There were lots of Zeroes with drop tanks etc, and a few three-seat torpedo-bombers (Nakajimas? Jills?, Kates?). All of these appeared to take off from a carrier with the island on the port side of the flight-deck.
Was this a reverse image or did the Japs really have carriers like this?
Seem to remember seeing it before and thinking it somewhat strange.
