Is that the emblem of the 38th Dokuritsu Chutai on the tail?.

It is, also the emblem of the earlier 38th Sentai in the Phillipines and Formosa.

Hello Nick,


Thanks. Is that just a polite way of telling me its more likely a 38th Sentai machine ? As indeed is the case with 38 Dokuritsu Chutainot emerging from 38 Sentai until 10 July 1945. Given the war ended when it did 38 Sentai is much more likely.


For those not aware of the site there are some nice Ki-46 and Ki-45 profiles at:

Hi Clint. You know I always try to be polite !
I also thought the 38th, before it's re-designation, and the landscape looks more Phillipines than Japan.

Several sourcesmention that the Ki-2 aircraft saw out their days as trainers, but I've not seen any particular units referenced in this regard. So is anyone aware of any training unit flying Ki-2 after 07.12.1941?
