Hi El Cid,

I just wanted to share with you what looks like a Japanese AP that was assigned to the allies incorrectly - or at least I think incorrectly... <grin>. This is part of the 12-10-41 report.

Japanese aircraft
F1M2 Pete-FF x 2
B5M/B5N/Ki-47 Kate x 23

Allied aircraft
F4F-3 Wildcat x 4
P-40B Tomahawk x 3

Japanese aircraft losses
B5M/B5N/Ki-47 Kate: 1 destroyed


Japanese Ships
AP Miike Maru, Torpedo hits 5, on fire, heavy damage

2 x B5M/B5N/Ki-47 Kate launching torpedoes at 200 feet
4 x B5M/B5N/Ki-47 Kate launching torpedoes at 200 feet
4 x B5M/B5N/Ki-47 Kate launching torpedoes at 200 feet
4 x B5M/B5N/Ki-47 Kate launching torpedoes at 200 feet
4 x B5M/B5N/Ki-47 Kate launching torpedoes at 200 feet
4 x B5M/B5N/Ki-47 Kate launching torpedoes at 200 feet

maybe she was captured????

I guess it is friendly fire (I have seen it myself - USAF was our worst enemy in Viet Nam - wether you were Army or Navy - they were more likely to hit you than enemy air forces).

It is properly listed slot 1446
