....title speaks for itself...






...those titles also say it all.....

Very neat, special and well-documented items from your brother-in-law. I always thoroughly enjoy looking at true 'I-was-there' pieces of history like those.
Just for what it's worth, over on another site a fellow posted a photo of a Japanese data plate, asking for a translation. He stated it came from a Kamikaze aircraft and that is why he purchased it. Oh - the plate was in nearly-new condition.
Had to tell him that something that actually survived a Divine Wind attack was 99.99% unlikely to come out so unscathed. Guess I'm just a suspicious guy by nature though...
Thanks again for the photos, Mario.

very nice memorabilia , i also enjoy seeing the actual evidence - it makes it real ,

BTW , if you look of period photos most of the guys turned their bills up on their ball caps , navy flight crews and army air corps as well , i wonder what the current "gangster followers" might think if we all started following these heros of our country and turned ours up instead of cocked-off-to-the-side or backwards ?
