Re: Japanese Ki-21
Very interesting JYoung
Can you elaborate a bit when you say s/n? I was not aware that the Japanese used that. From western sources it seems track was kept by using the manufactures assigned construction numbers. In this case they certainly don't fit, unless the numbers you quote are considerably shorterned. The loss on 7 Aug 1939 is said to be E/G malfunction. By E/G do you mean engine or possibly something else? Cheers Stig |

Re: Japanese Ki-21
Nice info!
Oleg - any idea on the loss on 22 August? Two claims on bombers from 22 IAP are known: Krasnoyuchenko in the morning and a shared between Baranov and Shabashov? Best wishes/Håkan

Re: Japanese Ki-21
Hello Stig.
1. s/n I’m sorry I’m not a serial number expert. I can only say the document says like that. 2. E/G You are right, it is “engine”. 3. Correction Shin’ich KOBAYASHI’s rank: not "SST" but "SSG" Best regards. JYoung |
