hi Tony:

I am headed to the Celebe Island aka Sulawesi in 2 1/2 weeks. Do you have that website available with wrecks in the Celebes and Munda?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Tom:

I'm not SCUBA qualified, but learn fast. I think there is PADI certification available there.

it just blows my mind........ why are there so many obscure ww 2 japanese aviation pics still unpublished???? forget the surviving veterans who still have their unpublished pics in their foot lockers such as my dad who is now pushing 89 years old, & same goes with japanese ww 2 vets!!! koku fan books, the mentioned site on this thread, on & on are an untapped resource..... this is why i search endlessly for fresh stuff!!!! the run of the mill me109, fw190, b17 etc is beat into the ground!!! still interesting... but worn out none the less!!! those koku fan books are even better than japanese ww 2 aviation websites!! & man are they expensive!! but they are the ultimate reference material!!! i just don't get why these obscure pics never make it beyond koku fan to more popular venues?? these pics are even better if you read japanese!! to quote belushi...... sayonara suckers!!! tom
