Is there some documentary record which tells us what aircraft type(s) numbers 3 and 4 were?
Or, must we depend on photos turning up to know even that much?
According to the site
http://www.ne.jp/asahi/aikokuki/aikokuki-top/Houkokugou_List1.html
they were Mitsubishi B1M3 and they were donated by the Kure Naval District on June 19, 1932.
Thanks George.
