Fascinating. And they're still the best ejection seat on the planet!

What about K-36 seats?

[@frankguz55]

German He219 was the first operational plane equipped with standard ejection seats in 1943.
Between 1943 and 1945 over 1,000 operational Luftwaffe planes of different types were equipped with ejection seats
