Thank you for posting this photo from t...Hi George,<br />Thank you for posting this photo from the deck of USS Core.<br />I have managed to find it on the internet on a Russian website, link below:<br />http://wiki.gcdn.co/images/6/64/ZfAOq5Kt0X8.jpg<br /><br />Zooming in on the photo, it looks like the twin engined aircraft at the back may well be a Ki-109.<br />The general dimensions, shape of engine nacelle, loop antenna and cockpit glazing all look correct for a Ki-67.<br />The nose has no glazing, leading me to believe that it is either a Ki-109 or modified Ki-67.<br /><br />The nearest tailplane on the right look like another Kawanishi N1K "Kyofu".<br />Behind it, the other tailplane looks like another Ki-67 Hiryu...possibly the one in photo #41.<br /><br />It's difficult to be certain, but these are my thoughts...<br />RichardHantsBirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11482512916995096476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160546163844864803.post-80943530040668674622019-02-10T03:37:59.564+09:002019-02-10T03:37:59.564+09:00
