This may sound like a silly question, but can anyone advise me on how the shoulder straps buckle on a typical WWII U.S. fighter?  I know that there were some variations (4 point, 5 point, bang box release, etc.).  I am using the standard lap belt (that had the leather pad under a lever hook).  However, I can't seem to find a good photo or description of how the shoulder straps buckled.   Does anyone have a good photo or diagram they could share?

Thanks,

Keenan
