Nope, good pics but no text...but then I'm trapped behind the Saudi firewall so I can't even see F4UDOA charts and the F4U site is blocked for me...the biggest squeak is it prevents me from flying in AH or anyone else's sim.....

There is a short claim about the Tojo tests at Clark Field in "The Mustang Story" by Ken Delve. Used source is "SWPA Intelligence Summary No 282".

Yup I do, Krieghound. Or at least the one that appears in "Japanese Aircraft Performance & Characteristics, TAIC Manual" put out by Planes of Fame.

Realize however that the TAIC group typically put out several "reports" that superceded each previous one, and the data was sometimes "guesses" and sometimes fact. Not sure which one is in the book.

Whatcha looking for? I'd scan and post all 3 pages for you, but my webspace is porked right now.

Happy New Year...

When does pyro release Ki-44 in AH?   :D
I remember that he wanted to release Ki-44 and Ki-100 2 years ago...   :)

Ya I would Like to See the Ki 44, or the Ki 100, the 40mm's would be fun to play with, close to like 50 meters and fire so you could hit somthing and BOOM :)

Yup thats the same one I have.  There are two other pages, but they are just pictures, 3 view drawings, vulnerability diagrams, and a few other minor items.

Sorry Krieghound that I didnt' get back to you, but I've been busy.  Thank goodness Butch2k was on the ball  :)
