Thanks Mike,


I wonder if the cowl is not missing because this is an instructional airframe for ground crew.The photo captions the personnel as mechanics officers so possibly at a Mechanical School?.


In connection with this a couple of questions occur.


1. Is a Mechanical School known to have existed in the Yokosuka area,or would the Yokosuka Ku conduct mechanics training?


2. While there is lots of evidence for the use of the D1A2 close to 1942,are any schools known to have operated flying examples of the D1A1 as late as that year?


Regards,


Clint
