Great picture, I don't remember seeing a Picture of carrier based IJN planes with the cockpits covered on deck, presumably to keep the cockpit temps down, with the exception of what I assume are the ready CAP fighters that are ready to launch on short notice to defend the fleet. Again great Photo!Mitsubishi A6M2bs and Nakajima B5N2s IJNS Zuikaku Indian Ocean Operation April 1942 UAGE
