Part #3. Mostly gliders but a few very interesting aircraft types as well.
And the stills.
In the first, we can see some Tachikawa Ki-54 transports of the 105 Kyoiku Hiko Rentai (24 Rensei Hikotai), The rear of a Nakajima Ki-49 "Donryu", the front of a Tachikawa Ki-55 trainer and a quite interesting closeup of the engine machine gun area of a Nakajima Ki-43 "Hayabusa" Model 3.
In this still, apart from the glider in the foreground and the wrecked Tachikawa Ki-9 "Akatonbo" on the right, the most interesting aircraft is hidden in the background.
It's the extremely rare Mitsubishi "Hato-gata" (Pigeon-type), only one example of which was ever produced.
More HERE.
The gliders are all, what the Japanese called, "secondary". I could not identify the type beyond any doubt. Probably "Kirigamine".
