Light Air Tank

The title "Light Air Tank" brought back memories from my childhood. The gas station that my dad went to in our small farming town had a yellow aluminum ribbed tank that we called an air bubble. I always wondered why that tank was so light. I didn't find out till many years later when I got interested in WW2, that they were air tanks from the bombers and I suppose other aircraft of the day.


They're oxygen tanks, still used today on some military planes. Holds up to 450 PSI.
