TROTSKIY is up

[Don Boose]

Yes. This here George is another aircraft (No. 37, Tail Number A-343-37) of the 301st Fighter Squadron, 343d Naval Air Group at Matsuyama Air Base in April 1945.

There are five kill markings. I don't know who the pilot was, but that information must be out there somewhere. Perhaps someone has a copy of the Osprey book, Imperial Japanese Navy Aces 1937–45 (http://www.ospreypublishing.com/titl...hp/title=P7279). It may be in there. With all these Trotskiy IJN aircraft appearing, I am going to get a copy.

If you also decide to purchase a copy, you might (ahem) check this one out, too: http://www.ospreypublishing.com/titl...hp/title=S6216

Hmmm...the additional suggested (ahem) tome looks mighty tempting - can you vouch for the author??

Ron -- He is definitely a suspicious character.

Rick, et al -- By all means save a couple of bucks. I like to see the Squadron Shop supported and I do not get any royalties for this book.

Don,

When we meet, and I have this book, you are signing it

Kyushu J7W1 Sinden is available.

Thanks for the heads up. I hadn't checked in for a day or so and missed that Trotskiy had offered a new airplane.

The heading on the model only says "Type 18 Interceptor, Shinden (J7W1) June 1945 (Showa Year 20).

I guess there is a message when my book is available on the "Comics Now" website.
