View of the aircraft tail showing the in-flight refueling coupling assembly as it is attached to aircraft tail. A mechanic walks over to the aircraft’s tail assembly, picks up the square-shaped coupler and shows how it pulls away on cable from aircraft tail assembly. German mechanic holding the coupler in his hands and demonstrating the hook-on attachment. View of the interior or open cockpit of same obsolete plane showing the coupling cable pulley assembly. German mechanic placing and pulling the coupler assembly away from tail of parked aircraft. The pilot starts engine. The obsolete aircraft flies. View of an unidentified twin-engine, low-wing, light aircraft. Light aircraft showing nose upon which a special hook arresting device is attached for catching the coupler.
