Re: help with japanese pilots claims
Hello,
Re: Kuroe's Mosquito claim on 2 November, 1943. The following loss is known: 2 November 1943 No.684 Sqn, RAF. Mosquito PR.II DZ697 "J" Took off Chittagong 0900 on a PR sortie over the Rangoon area. There is some dispute whether the loss was caused by Kuroe, or to catastrophic structural failure, probably both. The two airmen were thrown out as the aircraft broke up and were buried where they fell, in adjacent paddy fields, half-a-mile south of Kyaungyi village, Burma. After hostilities the two airmen were reinterred at Taukkyan War Cemetery, 113753 F/O (Pilot) Ernest Angus FIELDING RAFVR + NZ40744 F/O (Nav.) Robert Alfred TURTON MiD RNZAF + NB. The CWGC register entries record the crew as members of 681 Sqn, RAF, also based at Dum Dum. However, that unit's twin-engine aircraft and their crews were withdrawn at the end of October and used to form 684 Sqn. Whether the airmen were on temporary attachment or permanently posted to the new unit is unknown. Turton's posting to 681 Sqn had preceded his death by only 11 days. See: For Your Tomorrow:A Record of New Zealanders who have Died while serving with the RNZAF and Allied Air Services since 1915. Volume Two: Fates 1943-1998. Martyn,Errol. Christchurch:Volplane Press,1999. p.157. Col. Last edited by Col Bruggy; 11th April 2014 at 10:12. |

Re: help with japanese pilots claims
hi,
many thanks for your fast response, about the allied losses and claims of this pilot i found many info but i think i don´t have some claims 33 of 38? 50? the other mosquito 10.12.43 seems: Mosquito DZ696 (F/O Eugene Cotton and Flt. Sgt. Raymond Edwards Woods , 684 Sqn.) after 40 minutes pursuit he sat just 160 feet below and behind the Mosquito. From there he shot up its left engine. Despite his Oscar's guns jamming he bluffed the Mosquito crew into turning back to land. They flew back to Kuroe's base in formation, when Kuroe instructed the Mosquito to land. Unfortunately, the Mosquito hit a tree and crashed fatally in other sources i see different names: ¿DZ697/S Sgts Boot and E A Wilkins KIA shot down over Rangoon? ¿DZ697/S Sgt Geoffrey Maurice Bools and E A Wilkins? regards

Re: help with japanese pilots claims
How is your Japanese? http://www.jacar.go.jp has the Tactical Operation Records for many IJNAF units, including most of the units Takeo Tanimizu flew with. They have info of aerial victories (probably by flight rather than pilot).

Re: help with japanese pilots claims
The Chris Shores book Bloody Shambles and Air war over Burma should give you some information on these claims over Malaya and Burma.

Near Maungdaw 1 ->135 Sqn Flt Lt G Booyson, shared with Sgt Yoshito Yasuda and Sgt Maj Hosogawa (damaged at first by Kuroe, Yasuda, Hosogawa and finally finished by Kuroe in a second pass), the fighter plunged into the jungle. my error seems a complete claim... about this claim: 05.03.43 Claim over Akyab i have: 05,03,43 Ki43 64th Sentai Hurricane Destroyed Claimed 6 destroyed but only one was lost (no place) about this claim: 09.04.43 I have only 1 shared on this date i have: 09,04,43 Ki43 64th Sentai Hurricane Destroyed Shared Chittagong 67 Sqn, shared with Sgt Miyoshi Watanabe that finished it. 09,04,43 Ki43 64th Sentai Hurricane Destroyed Shared Chittagong 67 Sqn, Shared with Watanabe. The aircraft of Sqn Ldr J Bachmann belched out smoke while jinking at low altitude, Kuroe finished it and the plane hit a house and exploded maybe you are right...duplicated? i don´t know about this: 01.12.43 I have this B-24 as a shared i have: 01,12,43 Ki43 64th Sentai B-24 Destroyed Rangoon ->Lt John McLauchlen 436 BS damaged by AA finished by fighters.
