Captain Kuroe claims - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Hello,

Sorry to hijack this thread. I am interested in one of the claims of Captain Kuroe, I believe the hurricane claimed on 17-03-43 was that of Sgt F H Elder of 79 squadron. Do Japanese combat reports exist, and if so, how can they be obtained please?

Thanks
TEC

Can anyone help please? I tried posting this on a related thread but a kind moderator moved it to a new thread.

Thank you.

Hi TEC

Perhaps you already have access to this source but Hiroshi Ichimura in
Ki-43 Oscar Aces of World War 2 states that the 64th Sentai shot down one Hurricane fighter of 79 Sqn, RAF and damaged four more, two of which were written off, for no loss on 17 March 1943. The unit claimed three victories in that engagement with Captain Kuroe and Lieutenant Takahashi being credited with two of these. I hope this helps.

Horrido!

Leo
