I'm not presenting hard evidence by mentioning the following, but I hope no one minds my adding to the "story." According to what I've read, aircraft that "allegedly" made the flight were repainted in foreign colors to help avoid detection.

In a soon to be published book by Hikoki (in the UK), the Japanese were planning on attacking the Panama Canal using their I-400 aircraft carrying submarines and aircraft repainted in American colors. This according to their research, including information from Japanese veterans.
