File Name: J2M RAIDEN Akamatsu File Submitter: IFE File Submitted: 25 Mar 2006 File Category: J8A / J2M3 Skins Akamatsu was widely known as the "Master of the Raiden." With the Allied code name of "Jack," Akamatsu was a demon in the air and became one of the highest-scoring IJN aces.Additionally, Akamatsu was one of the few pilots to become an ace in both the A6M Zero and the J2M Raiden (Thunderbolt, ). He specialized in going after P-51s while flying the J2M. When you consider he shot down over ten P-51s and five B-29s in an aircraft, which was supposed to be 'meat on the table' to the Mustang, you get an idea of his accomplishments. Akamatsu survived the final battles over the Japanese home islands and became a restauranteur after the war. Click here to download this file

File Name: KI 61 Hien " Arrow" File Submitter: IFE File Submitted: 24 Mar 2006 File Updated: 28 Mar 2006 File Category: KI43 / KI61 Skins According to my book, this is a Ki-61-I-Otsu of the 3rd Chuti, 59th Sentai. I was based at Ashiya, Japan during August, 1945. It features a replaced tail and rudder, with original markings from the cannibalised aircraft. I?ve also seen it listed as a Ki-61-II-Hien, oh the joys of the internet. Another book I have (Japanes) mentions the numbers 149 and 20 for this aircraft, but confirms it as being a Ki-61-I-Otsu. 9thSentai 3rd Chutai Ashiya Japan. Jesters ink.
