Author Topic: I need a Japanese Translator !!! (Read 553 times)

BOOT · « **on:** May 05, 2002, 10:46:07 PM »

While browsing at my favorite local Military Antiques Dealer here in Springfield MO. I came across what is at least to me, a very good find..

I purchased a bag of wartime memento's Most are dated
1944 - 45... These were items that belonged to a B-29 Squadron Commander... Based out of Tinian.

Among many pictures of bombing raids (shot from the B-29's)
There was a plotting chart of a mission on the Japanese mainland, with notes made during the mission... Including a location where one B-29 ditched on it's return. Very neat stuff...

But there is also a Japanese Pilots Logbook.

You can imagine what all has run through my mind since I came across this find... Fighter ? Bomber ? Its probably a backlines transport... But Hey, I could be lucky

Mitsu ? or anybody? Could you handle this task ?
I can scan the first couple of pages and if it looks promising then it could be launched into a full reading...

Thanks

Ok gents...

Sorry it took me so long, but I had to set up a personal webpage to get this image posted...

You will definately need to expand the jepg image...
I apologize in advance for the poor quality... But this document is on brown paper and entries are all in pencil.

hehehe... You don't need a Japanese translator, you need someone that can read Smudge

Likewise, I'm very interested to hear what comes of this Boot.

The title of this table can read as "denshin ?(1 kanji, probably "tou"?) toushin kiroku (kou) ",
"Radio comminucation record, class #1"
This can be wrong, because I cant read clear...
more a bit read-able picture is needed;)
