Flying Cigars

Your blogmeister doesn't know a whole helluvalot about Meatballs, but he sure do dig 'em. So today we present a neato-keen shot showing fifteen Meatballs of the Mitsubishi variety... the Mitsubishi G3M 'Rikko', allied code-name 'Nell' variety, to be exact. The Nell was dubbed the 'Flying Cigar' by allied airmen, for obvious reasons.

The ships shown here are from the Genzan Kokutai, which took part in the sinking of HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse on December 10th, 1941, though we don't know where or when the photo was taken.

Enjoy...
