Photos Japanese Army Airforce

[Buckeye30]

Hi Clint. These are the 2 photos I saw of Ki.54s ( this page and next) with that insignia apparently in a Communications unit; also referenced as such in Barry Kettley's "Emblems of the Rising Sun" as allocated to Utsonomia (and with a red band ). As you say maybe different sections but just guessing.

Hi Nick,


Thanks for the link. I shall search for further aircraft from Utsonomiya. A follow up question. Do you know what the symbol shown is called in either English or Japanse ? Just thinking it might help when searching.


I am also inclinded to think that given the seller is Chinese,possibly the aircraft is from a China based unit. Another track to follow in any event.



Regards,


Clint
