Re: Photos Japanese Naval Aircraft

Hello,


Currently on ebay is a photo of an aircraft of the Saiki Kokutai. I'm in two minds aboutthe type of aircraft shown.Any answers?

Looks like an early B5N Kate.

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.

Clint

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

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.

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
