Looks like an early B5N Kate.

Re: Photos Japanese Naval Aircraft
Yes, looks like a B5N-1, and I think it might be SAEKI (NE Kyushu), rather than Saiki.

Re: Photos Japanese Naval Aircraft
Thank you both for the replies.
While happy to accept your identification of the unit as Saeki Kokutai,George, I would,in order to avoid future error on my part, welcome more information on how you reached this conclusion. Regards, Clint |

Re: Photos Japanese Naval Aircraft
Simply that Saeki was an important Naval Air Station and base to the Saeki Kokutai, whereas I have never come across Saiki as a JNAF operating base.

Re: Photos Japanese Naval Aircraft
Hello,
Currently on ebay is a photo of a Yokosuka E14Y1 455-1 https://www.ebay.com/itm/39513221421...wAAOSw1mtloscT Most images I've seen of this type are of machines of 671 Kaigun Kokutai. Who operated the machine shown in the link? Also on ebay is a photo of a Mitsubishi G4M https://www.ebay.com/itm/33520859755...kAAOSwG7VlotJm Regards, Clint Last edited by musec04; 14th January 2024 at 23:29. |

Re: Photos Japanese Naval Aircraft
Hello,
Still hoping for a unit identity of the E14Y1 in the previous post in this thread 455-1 In the meantime here is a photo of Nakajima B5N2 KEB-306 of 931 Kokutai.The machine has been seen before,but it is quite a nice photograph other than the fact the negative has been reversed. https://www.ebay.com/itm/37519564041...YAAOSwR0tlqFX6 Regards, Clint |

Re: Photos Japanese Naval Aircraft
Hello,
Currently on ebay is a photo of a Nakajima C6N1,the tailcode is unclear but possibly the machime belongs to 121 Kokutai given that the location is given as Truk https://www.ebay.com/itm/19621895976...IAAOSwE7Nk8AdO Regards, Clint |
