Hi!

Hi

 

[blackkite]

You have a deeper understanding of Japanese airplanes during World War II than most Japanese.
I show you sincere respect.

Gekko J1N1-Sa is based on version type 11 or 12 ?

 

[blackkite]

It's a difficult question for me. You already know that my knowledge for WW2 Japanese military aircraft is very poor.

If any of you are on Facebook, I did a series of articles on the J1N for a SIG called Banzai!, which is about the military of Imperial Japan (till 1945).
Here are the links:

Here is the original manual of J1N1-s Gekko, this file is from Captured German and Japanese Air Technical Documents in the microfilm by AMC T2
I found it at National Diet Library
https://95.gigafile.nu/0227-j69d741f2fcc1a3c0c546a9ab3cab9339please download it by using this link
please use a web translator as I believe this page is entirely Japanese
I have some other Japanese manuals that are not published such as S1A Denko, P1Y Ginga, etc. Please text me or email me ([email protected]) or reply this message if you are interested

Hello again
It might've been a good idea not to openly share the e-mail.
