Nice cockpit shot of the NMUSAF Zero. I noticed when I first saw it a couple of years ago that the cowl guns are missing. I wonder why they (or some replicas) weren't installed during restoration. Come to think of it, the Bf-109G-10 doesn't have cowl guns installed either.

It's an 18th Century Katana that was owned by Horace 'Sally' Crouch, bomb/nav in crew 10 on the Tokyo raid...

Correct.

I see that you and I patron the same online venue of aircraft knowledge. I was fishing you with that one. :twisted:



What Peter-Four-Oh didn't tell you all was:

The sword was produced in the 1700s by Hoki No Kami Shonidai Nobutaka, as noted on the 1805 list of Wazamono (good sword smiths) of the Shinto Period. It has pre-Kangi calligraphy chiseled into the tang, a standard Japanese army grip and a Tsuba ancestral piece that is designed like two swallows flying in a circle.
