Photos Japanese Aircraft

[Stig Jarlevik]

OK Clint

No idea who this 'Cea' is or what his info is, but since appx 50 F.5 were used by the Japanese,
most of them post 26.7.21 I am surprised that there are so many photos of 'Y' coded F.5 and
so few 'Yo' ones.
Should be the other way round....

Is there a list somewhere for Navy aircraft markings up to 1940 or so?
I think I am pretty well covered for the WW 2 period (think mind you....)

Cheers

Agreed Stig.1921 cannot be correct.My problem is that I have no more information on interwar JNAF aircraft and their codes than you do.However,the same work Eduardo Cea Aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Navy Land-based Aviation 1929-45 (I)(?) has a colour illustration of a 1MT1 captioned as 1927. So clearly something is amiss.

Hello,


Currently on ebay is a photo of either a Nakajima Ki-6 or a Super Universal. I read the letters under the wing as possibly DON. So may be J-BDON?

Hang on Clint

The Dornier Do D must be the prototype WNr 57 sent to Japan in 1925.
No production followed in Japan.

Did really Kawasaki give it a type number of its own?
I always thought the K-x range was used only by Kawanishi (their K-8A/B was something
quite different)
