WW2 aircraft drop tank question.

View attachment 350706

In Vietnam, fuel tank canoes are very common. In fact, it's just given me a new Sealion idea.


Are these tanks recovered after being dropped? Those are big tanks they're using for canoes. I wonder how many gallon capacity those are. The race car might be using war surplus 300 gallon P-38 drop tanks.

Are the Kriegsmarine going to dispense with Rhine River barges and go with stealth canoes? Ort! Ort!

You didn't get the accent quite right, but good try. I think there's an umlaut in there somewhere.
