story of the hudson well known

I join these informations

from the "kodochosho"

1° patrol over Buna

1 Shotai: mototsuna yoshida,shiro kawai,tatsusuke goto

2 Shotai: tadashi hayashitani,yoshisuke hoshiya,kazushi uto

without incident ( 1345 hours)

2° patrol

1° Shotai:hiroshi okano,ichirobei yamazaki,joji yamashita

2° Shotai:tora'ichi takatsuka,susumi matsuki,yoshio motoyoshi

without incident ( 1600hours)

3° patrol

1° Shotai:jun'ichi sasai,toshio ota,masuaki endo

2° Shotai: saburo sakai,masayoshi yonekawa,yoshio mogi

hudson shot down, the "kodochosho lists the victory ( 1450 hours ) sharing equally between the 6 pilots above.

in his log book Sakai: hudson shared with 7 pilots.
