Float
What exactly is the POINT of a detachable float? Once the float is jettisoned, there is no way for the plane to land safely. You have to ditch it, which is going to cause quite a lot of damage even if things go very well. Belly land of the ground? Sure, it might be nice to save the pilots, but I didn't think Japan cared all that much about that. And how did they KNOW the planes were shot down because the float refused to jettison? The pilots never made it back to tell them about it! Did he pilots survive the crash and find their way back into Japanese hands to report, or what? AnnaGoFast (talk) 18:26, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
