4th Kokutai A5Ms


Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any information on the 4th Kokutai on Taroa during the Marshall Islands raids in the beginning of 1942?

 

I was thinking of doing a diorama of Wilmer Rawie scoring his two victories on the February 1 raid against Taroa, but so far the only information I have is that the A5Ms were from the 4th Kokutai, and that they were flown by Lieutenant Kurakane Yoshio and PO3 Atake Tomita, but otherwise I haven't been able to find anything more specific as far as how the aircraft were marked (I can't even find a consensus about what base color they were painted — gray, green, or aluminum lacquer — or if they still had their red tails at that point).
