A6M5b arresting hook - where is the control for real?
#9

The A6m's had the arrestor hook release lever next to the flaps and undercarriage levers on the rear right hand side of the cockpit practically under the pilots right elbow. I read a report somewhere that I can't find now that these levers were set close together and were easy to confuse. I think the arrester lever had a button release much like a car hand brake lever while the undercarriage and flap levers had simple knobs. There was also the seat height adjuster lever next to all these! If I can find the pilot report I'll post it-very interesting reading!
