Well, there really was a Cunliffe-Owen OA-1; there really was a No. 24 Squadron RAAF at Rabaul in January 1942; there really was a First Yokosuka Naval Air Technical Arsenal that tested captured foreign aircraft and a support element of the Tainan Naval Air Group that operated transports; and the 9th Australian Division really did recapture Lae in September 1943. It's a little harder to document the rest of the "facts."
I have access to all of the sources except the Kumalo Kerpi and Jiro Takahashi books, which I can't seem to put my hands on just now.
As I said, 冗談だよ.
But wouldn't Charles de Gaulle's personal OA-1 make a neat model?
In any event, thanks for checking in and commenting Murph. I thought for a while that except for Karol's post, this had dropped down a well.
