I'll bet that being the pilot of one of these was popular duty ! http://www.nasm.si.edu/collections/artifact.cfm?id=A19540016000

quote: This rotary-wing kite allowed German submarines to locate targets in heavy seas Bet that was fun to try and asemble on a U boat deck in 'heavy seas'. Seems to me like a less daft idea than the huge japanese I boat float plane carrier [;)], but still daft. Can't say I'd be the 1st to volunteer for this duty ,, AC spotted on an attack run. Humm .. dive or reel in the kite ? drowning ain't fun [;)].

One was traded for a Japanese float plane in Penang.
