The Yasuhiko Kuroe
« on: October 05, 2013, 08:46:47 PM »
Another Mossie-related achievement, as noted from "the other side."

Yasuhiko Kuroe (I believe his rank was Captain) shot down two Mosquitos in a Ki-43 of the 64th Sentai (not on the same sortie).

He seems to have been a relatively noted pilot - found a pic of him on google easy-peasy. So, the Yasuhiko Kuroe achievement would be shooting down two Mossies in a Ki-43. I suppose he did other things as well, this however is all I know about the man.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
