Graham Boak is on a distinguished road
Supplies to Japan in March 1941

On j-aircraft.com, Richard Dunn has posted the following information.

"Per the US Naval Attache Tokyo in a report dtd 19 March 41, the following have been imported "recently" via the Trans-Siberian Rwy:

5 Heinkel He 111 (w/ DB 601), 10 Ju 88, 10 Me 109 (w/ DB 601, 4 m/g and 1 cannon), 60 Jumo 211 engines."

This seems highly unlikely to me, but has anyone come across any such consignment/order/request from German sources?
