Talk:Ohka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Does anyone know more about the USS Stanly? A ship hit by two kamikaze planes, which apparently survived the attack. Sounds interesting!Doovinator 19:03, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Just FYI, there are multiple Model 11's that purport to be I-13. Locations:
- serial number 1081 put on display at the defunct Victory Air Museum, Ivanhoe, IL according to Navy Aircraft Ohka Markings
- USMC Air Ground Museum, Quantico, VA according to picture at http://www.preservedaxisaircraft.com/Japan/Yokosuka/Yokosuka.htm
- RAFM Cosford according to picture on http://www.preservedaxisaircraft.com/Japan/Yokosuka/Yokosuka.htm Serial number is shown as 1046 according to J-Aircraft research site photo.

The March 21, 1945 entry under Operational History says "16 Ohka-carrying mother ships..." but at the end says "160 of the Jinrai Butai are dead". I'm guessing that's a typo for 16 and am changing it. Kaleja 20:42, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
