Vehicles - Trucks
As the video above shows, trucks were often used in the airfields to carry bombs of various calibre from the "armory", in this case an open area in one part of the airfield, to the aircraft. Note the 250kg bombs and their crates roughly unloaded. Leave a comment if you can identify the type, model and other details of the truck.
Trucks were also used to refuel aircraft. In this photo barrels are loaded in the back of the truck and using the hand-operated pump we also saw in a previous post, the crew is refueling a Tachikawa Ki-9 "Spruce".
