Re: Japanese floatplane fighters in Aru Islands
Hi Pete

I have the date as 7 May 1943 but obviously the same action. NAP 3/c Mamoru Irio and NAP 1/c Takaomi Ohyama flying A6M2Ns of the Float Fighter Buntai attached to 934th Kokutai claimed two Hudsons over Meikol, Kei. No losses suffered by the A6M2Ns.

Hope this helps

Cheers
Brian
