You are offerding on an EXTREMELY RARE example of a WW2 Imperial Japanese Navy Dive Bomber Flight Navigation Computer! Complete in the original box, this computer was used by both pilots and navigators throughout the war, in such aircraft as the D3A "Val", and others!

Pilots and flight personnel used this device to accurately plot the flight path to their destination. It would aid in the calculation of time, speed, distance, airspeed, pressures, densities and temperature. Strapped to the pilot's leg, the Dive Bomber computer was limited to calculating Ground Speed & Drift, as well as Search & Intercept Problems.

Made of a lightweight aluminum alloy, this Dive Bomber Flight Computer is in EXCELLENTused condition!The user would strap this calculator onto his thigh, just above the knee for easy access.Though it does feature some marks and wear, it is still VERY solid! The top features a basic aluminum disc marked with grids.N, S, E. and W are marked in red, as well as an outline of an airplane (corresponds to the longitudinal axis).All other markings are in black.The lower portion was used to solve wind problems as well as interception and rendezvous issues. The straps are 100% intact, and still feature the original buckles (the elasticity of the straps has mainly been lost, but this is normal due the age).Complete in the original box, it retains the original data label, indicating "Dive Bomber". These are almost never found on the market today, and like most Japanese items is an EXTREMELY RARE item, perfect for any collection or display!
