Re: USAAF Raid, 7 April 1945

Many thanks Michel.

Moore's victories could be "Zekes" (not Hamps") but perhaps the fact that these were perceived as being in the same flight they are more likely to have been among the "Franks" you have identified. No other Japanese fighters show a comparable loss. However what is the unit. Is it a Rensei Hikotai?

As you know the 18th sentai flew Ki-46 "Dinah" armed with 20mm cannon to become bomber-destroyers. The experiment did not work.

The Myrt claimed seems to be one of the Susei (Judy) you identify.

best regards

Keith
