Re: Ki-84 Hayate c/n 1446
Hi Dave. Yes seems like the ATAIU was re-located to Anacostia DC in June 44; the big hangar No.7 at Eagle Farm was assigned to ATAIU-SWPA for this sort of work until then. A photo of 4 aircraft ( Ki.84, F6F, Seafire and P-51D) in flight was most likely taken over Luzon in the May-June 45 period; the 35FG P-51 was at Clark Field then so was the Seafire (NN610) with the Technical Air Intelligence Unit, as was the Ki.84 S17 (the photo was actually credited to the RAAF). Not sure about the F6F-5, no markings just 3 nose numbers presumably related to the serial.
