Aichi E13A1 "241-03", Battleship Yamato in Operation Ten-Gō

[JYoung]

Hi !
I find another book about the topic.

According to the book (OSUO Kazuhiko, “Simpû Tokubetsu Kôgekitai (IJN Air Force Suicide Attack Unit ‘Kamikaze')”, Model Art, (No. 458, Nov. 1995, extra issue), pp. 88-90.), my opinions of (1) and (2) in previous post No.2 are wrong.

It was E13A, embarked on IJN Yamato and its code was “212 – 01.”

Its crew on 7th April was pilot PO1c IZUMO Masashige, observer PO2c SUDÔ Sôhê, radio operator PO1c MATSUMORI Kazuo.

Best Regards,
JYoung

Hi, JYoung

Thank you very much for all the great information.

Aichi E13A1's Hasegawa kit 00277 contains this code "241-03" for the Jake used in Operation Ten-Gō.

I have also found this information in few other sources.

Once again thank you very much for your thoughtful response. I didn't answer before, because I'm in home office, working more than at work.

Best regards from Brazil,
