A photo from a vintage magazine taken on October 21, 1933, in Haneda airport during the presentation ceremony of six IJNAF aircraft.
These were:
Nakajima A2N
Hokoku 38 - Kawamura-go. Donated by Kawamura Tokutaro, owner of a geisha company, head of the geisha workers' union and also donator of the funds for a famous kabuki theatre in Shinbashi/Tokyo.
Hokoku 45, 46, 47 - Dai1, dai2, dai3 Seito-go. Donated by 16 sugar manufacturing companies including one from Taiwan (a Japanese colony at the time).
Hokoku 48 - Dai2 Rodo-go. Donated by industrial workers from all over Japan.
Nakajima E4N3 (on the far right)
Hokoku 50 - Dai2 Zenkoku Kokumin-go. Donated by citizens from all over Japan.
Of interest is the mix of western and traditional clothes the crowd is wearing.
