Re: Photo USAAF Aircraft

The captured Ki.43-I was given the Chinese number P-5017, there are some nice colour photos ( as here); it's mentioned on the warbird forum reportedly captured in 1942 ( I think in Burma which the scenery suggests, then flown to China).

The Oscar in Geoff's ( close-up) photo was found on a Chinese beach and made flyable at Liuchow, then flown to Kunming via Kueilin and on to India for shipping to the US.
