Re: death date for jnaf Fumio Ohzumi and Tomikichi Maruta
Thank you for your kind answer
I would like to know where you you got this information from, I have the old Imperial Japanese naval air force pilots book (Hata/Izawa) but it lacks many data I so much desire to fill for my knowledge However incomplete it is, one thing is sure: the survival rate for the JNAF pilots was almost nill, but they heroically died much later then the USN overclaims may sugest Please let me know about your source. I would like to fill my data too Please write me to Ardeleanubogdan@hotmail.com Kind Regards Bogdan |
