Re: Shootdown of JAAF Fiat BR 20 0ver Buka Nov 43?

Hello David,

This actually sounds like a 14 sentai Mitsubishi Ki-21,which I guess somewhat resembles a Fiat BR.20.Failing this one of the standard JAAF transports with perhaps the Ki-57 looking most like a Ruth.

Were any Japanese BR.20 still around as late as November 1943? Perhaps,if at all, in the home Islands,but New Guinea sounds like misidentification.

Regards,

Clint
