The identity of the planes is discussed on this link:

"Two crashes of dive bomber Type 99 (and later given the code name "VAL") were near "Wheeler" airbase.
Both crashed just outside the base in or near the community of Wahiawa, Oahu. Mr. David Aiken's research reveals that
both aircraft were from the Japanese carrier KAGA. Both VALs had targeted the USS NEVADA during her sortie within the harbor. One of the two VALs came under attack by P-40 pilot, 2Lt George Welch. That plane crashed at 711 Neal Street.
This was near the Civilian Conservation Corps encampment [at what is now the Wahiawa Freshwater State Park].
Many CCC men were quick to the scene. Some veterans suggest this site was 'Just outside the front gate'. However,
the site was not that close." ... etc..... Also quite a few photos on the link.


...."The plane was AII-250 and was flown by a hikotaicho (flight leader). The crew were Lt. Saburo Makino (pilot) and CPO Sueo Sukida (radioman/gunner).
This plane was shot down by George Welch and crashed at 711 Neal Avenue, Wahiawa."
