Re: Ki-48 loss
Bruce,
Might I recommend you chasing up the following book:
Doomed At The Start:American Pursuit Pilots in the Philippines, 1941-1942.
Bartsch,William H.
N.P.:Texas A & M University Press,1992.
I can't access my copy at the moment, but Chris Shores et al mention, in Vol.2 of Bloody Shambles (p.8):
After publication of Volume One, William Bartsch's excellent new book 'Doomed at the Start' (Texas A & M University Press) appeared, covering in great detail the activities and operations of the USAAF fighters in the Philippines. From this certain corrections are required to Chapter 5 of Volume One, as follows ... Shores goes on to list some of these corrections.
Can't recall in detail what Bartsch had to say, but it was comprehensive.
Better still, take a look at "December 8, 1941:Macarthur's Pearl Harbor", by the same author.
Col.
