A thought and an apology. The Ki-79 was not given the codename "Willow". It does not appear to have a codename. The "Willow" was a biplane trainer. I was misled by the "Pacific Wrecks" website normally an excellent source. Looking again at this air battle where trainer aircraft were involved it occurred that if, as I am informed there were no "Sally" bombers in the area, and that IJN G4M "Bettys" were also unlikely to be there it occurred to me that they might be Tachikawa Ki-54b "Hickory" twin-engine gunnery trainers?
