Also currently on ebay is a photo of this glider:

I believe it may be a Tachikawa Ki-24.

(Ki.27 photo) the 2 diagonal stripes could be 5th Sentai on Nates to 8/42 ( white = 2nd Chutai) based in the Tokyo area, then on Ki.45s to 1943.

(Ki.9 photo). The sloping bars on the top wing were carried by at least 2 Instructor's Schools in Japan presumably for extra identification, the white bars (a black cowling was standard) may be flight markings (?)

Hello Nick,


Thanks for both replies. Looking at the Ki-27 photo after your reply I now notice what appear to be a red outline to the white bars which I'd previously overlooked. So 5 Sentai it is.

Clint. When the 10th Sentai was re-organised in July 1941 it had the 70/74/76 Dokuritsu Chutai all with this marking ( based on the Nen river in NE China)-- in order white/yellow/red; from June 1943 the 70th/74th served as independent Chutai to the EOW. The Hollandia landings were in April 1944 so this Ki.51 is probably 70th Chutai as you say.
A Ki.46 "Dinah" from the 76th was also found in N. Guinea in 1944 with red insignia, also other Ki.51s with white.

Sorry for the interruption of regular service.


I have bumped this post as despite a polite request on my part that TOCH village idiot Ed West removes a duplicate post,posted after mine he has not done so.


To Nick Beale,this is not the first time this has happened and I see no reason therefore to show any politeness.Please delete Ed West's post titled Japanese Aircraft,perhaps given his low level of intelligence and lack of character,this is not necessarily a surprise.Alternatively,please let me know if you would prefer that I handle this in my own fashion.

Clint
