That link mirrors a long debate that's been going on for years to debunk the shamrock-covered decals, artwork, and myth that has sprung up.


I found this Japanese site on the 244TH Sentai even with the broken up Google translator it seems even the Japanese seem to take issue with the Clover paint job. Strange though they don't mention Katabami as a possible option :headscratch:

It has some good profiles on this site as well as some very good photos of aircraft & pilots & even visiting family members at the airfield.

Go to the portion listing (3 expression of war paint) to see the debate amongst the Japanese on the clover emblem.

Then click the very next link after to see profiles & photos of the same aircraft. It is a site worth looking through :aok

EDIT: The clover plane has no profile or picture other than what I posted before.
