Japanese air to air.
« on: February 16, 2014, 03:13:14 PM »
Like the Germans the Japanese had air to air rockets. Not a huge success for them but they also didn't know how effective the few times they tried them as in this instance.

N1K2-J,s used them & this is that story from both sides of what happened.
With photographs taken at the time of the attack.

 






Picture of one of the 343rd N1K2-J's with one of the rocket rails visible over the shoulder of one of the ground crew.
