Gekko

The only Junkers Ju-87 Stuka received by Japan for evaluation test before the outbreak of WW2. When finished the test, the aircraft, an Ju-87 of the first versions, exactly a Ju-87A-1, knew like Ju-87K-1, was stocked in an hangar at Tokorozawa. Here was destroyed by an Allied air raid toward the end of the war. The photo depicts the Stuka now no more in flight conditions (note, for example, the lack of propeller spinner), on a public display (date, event and location unknown). Victor Sierra

Soichi Sugita shot down 2 P-28  in accompany flight of admiral Yamanoto (BTW  to avoid the discrace the pilots were KIAs in some months in combat, they desided themselves). Ota was wild head and this led to his death over Kanyon airfield 15th April 1945.
