For the third picture,the translate is very interesting;

A tri-view of the two interceptors Ionezawa «Kingo», left,and Ionezawa called an emergency.
The quick eavesdroppers had to be piloted by brave pilots called "Shimbu".

I'm getting something more like: "Three-view [drawings] of two interceptors [-] Yonezawa 'Kingo', on the left, and a Yonezawa emergency type. These were fast interceptors to be flown by daring pilots called 'Shimbu' or courage."

I assume that 'Shimbu' is a reference to the Shimbu Tokubetsu-Kogekitai (Gathering of Courageous Forces) which would make these IJAAF aircraft. The naming is a bit more elusive. Both Kingo and Yonezawa are Japanese given names (unless Yonezawa refers to the capital city of Yamagata Prefecture).

Has anyone heard of Yonezawa as a name associated with aircraft building?

Has anyone ever seen an illustration of the catapult being designed for the Ohka Type 43B? There were tests of the caapult in the summer of 1945 according to "Thunder Gods" and one of the "Japanese Monographs" done for CMH indicates that construction of several of the coastal launch sites had begun in the summer of 1945. I've seen the two photos of the Type 43B mock-up, but nothing on the catapult.
Reviving an old post since I see a need to. I saved these photos and drawings years ago and posted them on another forum site apart from this one.
