Re: Jiro Asano - Ki-100 ace ?
Hi, I'm the illustrator of the Osprey Ki-61/100 Aces title by Nicholas Millman.
MSgt Jiro Asano (NCO86) is said to have shot down a total of 3 Corsairs (on 3 June '45) and additionally a total of seven B-29s, while flying with the 244th Sentai. He was KIA on 22 June 1945, while in combat with Hellcats. That's all I have on him. I'll ask Nick if he knows more.
