Air Group slo 1050 in stock

48th Sentai

Listed as operating the Ki-27, apparently the Ki-27 never operated with this unit.
Date formed is 431105 in stock - if correct Ki-27 also seems unlikely.

Upgrade is Ki-43II Oscar

since the unit is recorded as operating with Oscar - this is probably correct.

It may be it formed up with the Ki-43 IIa or b and upgraded to the Ki-43 III

48th Hiko Sentai

The unit formed in July 1943 with nucleii provided by the 77th and the 204th Kyodo Hiko Sentai, completing formation in November at Jiandao, Manchuria, on a two chutai basis. It was reorganized to hikotai composition in February 1944.
