Re: Article on the air war over Burma

Three trade delegations travelled to Germany during 1940 and 1941. The IJN sent one team in October 1940 and a second in March 1941. The IJA sent their team in June 1941. All three teams travelled via ship.Two more diplomatic delegations travelled to Germany in later years, both with IJNAF abd IJAAF representatives. The first went in December 1942 and the second in june 1944. Both travelled by I class Japanese submarines, the June group having to land in Norway and make their way to Germany overland. Both groups returned safely to Japan.
