Photo shows an actual message container called a “bean-bag” used to deliver messages from an aircraft to the ship during WWII. In order for airborne pilots to safely communicate with the ship, each plane was equipped with several bean-bags in which a note could be placed and dropped to the deck of the carrier as the pilot slowly flew over.
