Re: IJN escort sunk by Hellcats 9 September 1944
In Monograph #116 “The Imperial Japanese Navy in World War II” the only Japanese vessel I see as lost to aircraft on 9 September 1944 is Kuniyaha Maru, 2871 tons, a B-AG (miscellaneous naval auxiliary), noted as sinking “S of Zamboanga.” I see nine other Japanese vessels, combatants and non-combatants, lost on the 9th, in various places, but all are noted as lost to submarines (5) or mines (4). Pages 246-248.
