Re: The Ki27 in 1944?

The incident I am interested in was a raid by VF-8 on San Marcelino A/F, Luzon 21 September 1944. I believe that the "Nates" and "Vals" claimed shot down on this date were most probably "Sonias" of an as yet unidentified unit. The VF-8 tally that day included aircraft of the IJN but would both IJN and IJA air units share the same field? It could be the Vals, Nates, Sonias were in fact Tachikawa Ki-55 advanced trainers? If so was San Marcelino a training field?

Apparently VF-8 shot down over twenty aircraft on this date.
