Re: A ?? RE: IJNAF losses on 25 April 1942 at Darwin;
I have the 3rd Ku combat report in front of me now. I can confirm that Murakami was indeed the 3rd Ku's only loss. Six more aircraft were reported damaged.
They claimed 7 P-40s shot down plus 2 probables and another 9 damaged.
Under "number of enemy airplanes" [encountered] it says "unknown" but next to it a number is scribbled which looks like 24.
