Re: Tainan Ku questions
Hi JYoung
Thank's for your detailed answer.
Effectively,I have a Nishiyama,first name SHIZUKI,in 6° and 204° Kokutai,but Nishiyama SHIZUYOSHI with Tainan Ku and I thought it was two different "guys'.....error or confusion between first names?
Some additional details concerning the claims:
24/01/42:
It seems that the claims for 3 twin-engine bombers destroyed on the ground have been under-evaluated (for once!),they were shot down (3 Glenn Martin of 1-VIG-II) during their final landing approaches.
03/02/42:
I have also 02/02/42....error dates?
27/02/42:
the twin-engine flying boat claimed prob. was real (catalina Y-65 of GVT-5)
but was also claimed by 6 pilots of 3°Kokutai.
among the 9 pilots (Tainan Ku) who claimed the two flying boats,I have only Lt Yukio MAKIN and Toyo-o SAKAI:have you the 6 others?
28/09/42:
unfounded:no known US losses
14/11/42:
unfounded:no known US losses
Best Regards
