รีวิว Q&A mitsubishi ki-30

In World War II, can you rank major combatants in terms in terms of their emphasis on close air support for ground troops, and their ability to provide it, among the US, Great Britain, Russia, Germany or Japan?

From most emphasis at start to getting there in the end! Germany and Russia, - airforce is part of army. Specialised ground support aircraft - Shturmovik, Sukhoi Su-2, Stuka, Henschell 123 & 129 etc Japan ,- army had own airforce as distinct from Navy. Has specialised ground support aircraft. ,Mitsubishi Ki-30 - Wikipedia US, - airforce part of Army, but keen on independent strategic bombing. Still has ‘Attack’ specification even if it does tend to go for bigger aircraft . So the A-12 Shrike ,Curtiss A-12 Shrike - Wikipedia Is ‘replaced’ by the A-20 ,Douglas A-20 Havoc - Wikipedia Finaly settles down to using the P-47 RAF, - fixated on being independent, but does have a ‘light bomber’ spec. Fills it too early, with the horribly vulnerable ‘Battle’ that gets slaughtered in France. ,Fairey Battle - Wikipedia So, is first to really switch to using ‘spare’ fighters - often from the US. And improves with practice!

Why didn’t the Japanese Empire have any bomber planes beside fighter plane Zero in WW2?

Never ask why unless you know the facts. Japan had several bombers in WW2: Kawasaki Ki-48 Mitsubishi G3M Mitsubishi G4M Mitsubishi Ki-21 Mitsubishi Ki-30 Mitsubishi Ki-67 Nakajima Ki-49 Yokosuka P1Y1

Was the Battle of Ko Chang the best performance of the French Navy in World War II?

In my opinion, although not many people might know, the Battle of Ko Chang (or Koh Chang) on 17 January 1941 was indeed the perfect example of the French Navy performance during the initial stage of the Second World War. French light cruiser Lamotte-Picquet in Shanghai, 1939. On 13 January 1941, in order to support their land campaign during the Franco-Thai War, the small squadron of French Navy in Indochina (,Groupe Occasionnel) ,under the command of ,Capitaine de Vaisseau, Régis Bérenger was ordered to attack the Thai forces along the coast from Rayong to the Cambodian border. At that time, the French squadron had one light cruiser (,Lamotte-Picquet,), two modern avisos (,Dumont d'Urville, Amiral Charner,) and two older avisos (,Tahure, Marne,), with their heaviest weapons were the eight 155 mm naval guns of the light cruiser ,Lamotte-Picquet. The coastal defense ship HTMS Thonburi of Royal Thai Navy. On the contrary, the Royal Thai Navy had two heavy coastal defense ships (HTMS ,Thonburi, ,HTMS, Sri Ayudhya,), both of them were the new warships and were armed with numerous 203 mm guns. Moreover, the Royal Thai Navy also had 2 Rattanakosindra-class gunboats armed with British 152 mm guns, 12 torpedo boats, 4 submarines and a number or minesweepers. Furthermore, the Royal Thai Air Force had more than 140 aircraft, including the modern Mitsubishi Ki-30 bombers, ready to bomb the French forces at anytime. Although the difference in strength is quite large, plus the whole campaign was quite risky to the French squadron as they moved into the battle without the air cover (there were only some Loire 130 seaplanes provided reconnaissance), the French still won a decisive naval battle at Ko Chang on 17 January 1941. The movement of French squadron from Saigon to Ko Chang, 15–17 January 1941 (From Jaques Mordal, “Marine Indochine”, 1953, p. 26). During two hours of battle, around one-third of the Royal Thai Navy was completely annihilated, with 3 torpedo boats sunk (HTMS ,Chonburi, HTMS Songkhla, ,HTMS, Trad), and 1 coastal defence ship grounded (HTMS ,Thonburi)., Moreover, the captain of the HTMS, Thonburi,, Commander Luang Phrom Viraphan was killed during the battle. On the contrary, the French casualties were virtually zero. Historically, there were several reasons which led to the decisive French naval victory at Ko Chang. At the beginning of battle, the air reconnaissance by the Loire 130 aircraft was important for the French squadron, as they detected the location of two Thai torpedo boats, which were immediately sunk by gunfire from the ,Lamotte-Picquet. Map: The naval Battle of Ko Chang on 17 January 1941. Moment later, the heavy gunfire from the light cruiser ,Lamotte-Picquet ,also destroyed the Thai observation post on the shore and disrupted the telephone line which connected to the Thai air base, successfully delayed the intervention of the Royal Thai Air Force during the initial phase of the battle. The coastal defense ship HTMS Thonburi in flames after the battle. On the other hand, the accuracy of the gunfire from the ,Lamotte-Picquet ,was excellent on that day, as a 155 mm shell successfully hit the command room of the HTMS ,Thonburi, and killed the Thai commander instantly, which caused the disturbance and confusion for the Thai naval formation. Last but not least, the French was lucky because the Thai fleet was not ready at all at the beginning of battle, as many of Thai sailors were caught asleep and unprepared when the French squadron came. Also, no Thai air reconnaissance was conducted. Moreover, the Thai air attacks only happened after the battle when the French squadron started moving home, as only one bomb hit the ,Lamotte-Picquet ,but it failed to explode. A Vietnamese newspaper article regarding the Battle of Ko Chang and the losses of Royal Thai Navy, which was published by “Tràng An” newspaper in Huế on 23 January 1941. In conclusion, it could be seen that the Battle of Ko Chang was a typical victory of the French Navy during the Second World War. Because of the Fall of France in June 1940, plus the broken up of the French Navy into the De Gaulle’s Free French Naval Forces and the Vichy’s French Fleet, the role of French Navy was minor during the rest of the Second World War. Thus, the French victory at Ko Chang could be seen as the most successful one. Once again, thank you very much for reading my answer and best regards, Andrew

What equipment did Thailand use in the Franco-Thai war?

Carden Loyd tankettes, Vickers 6-ton tanks, Krupp guns, Bofors guns, Howitzers, Mitsubishi Ki-30 light bombers, Mitsubishi Ki-21 medium bombers, Martin B-10 medium bombers, Curtiss Hawk 75N fighter planes, Vought O2U Corsair scout planes, coastal defence ships, torpedo boats and submarines.

Did the Luftwaffe use any Japanese planes in WW2?

Not likely, but it happened the other way arround. Japan bought tech from Junkers G.38 to produce 6 Mitsubishi Ki-30 bombers, and also some Mercedes-Benz DB 601 for use in the 3,000 the Kawasaki Ki-61 fighter aircraft.

If the Flying Tigers had such a good record against the Japanese, why was the Zero so highly regarded when the US entered WWII?

The AVG mostly fought the Japanese Air Force which didn’t use Zeroes. Mostly the AVG fought Oscars and other aircraft of lesser capability. “At this time, the focus of Japan's offensive efforts in the AVG's coverage area was southern Burma. The 3rd Squadron – 18 aircraft strong – defended Rangoon from 23–25 December. On 23 December, ,Mitsubishi Ki-21, "Sally" heavy bombers of the 60th, 62nd and 98th ,Sentai,, along with single-engined ,Mitsubishi Ki-30, "Ann" attack bombers of the 31st ,Sentai,, sortied against Rangoon. They were escorted by ,Nakajima Ki-27, "Nate" fighters of 77th ,Sentai,. The ,Imperial Japanese Army Air Force, (JAAF) formation was intercepted by the AVG and RAF ,Brewster Buffalos, of ,67 Squadron,. Eight Ki-21s were shot down for the loss of three AVG P-40s. The 60th ,Sentai, was particularly hard hit – it lost five out of the 15 bombers it had dispatched. Nevertheless, Rangoon and Mingaladon airfield were successfully bombed, with the city suffering more than 1,000 dead. Two Buffalos and two P-40s were destroyed on the ground, and one P-40 crashed when it attempted to land on a bomb-damaged runway. On 25 December, the JAAF returned, reinforced by Ki-21s of 12th ,Sentai, and ,Nakajima Ki-43, ,Hayabusa,s (Oscars) of the 64th ,Sentai, (Colonel ,Tateo Katō,'s Flying Squadron). A total of 63 bombers escorted by 25 fighters were committed. These were intercepted by 14 P-40s of the AVG's 3rd Squadron and 15 Buffalos of 67 Squadron. In the two encounters, 35 Japanese bombers and fighters were shot down. The Allies lost two pilots and five P-40s. [16] Mingaladon airfield was once again damaged, and eight Buffalos were destroyed on the ground. After its losses in the 23–25 December battles, the 3rd Squadron was relieved by the 2nd Squadron "Panda Bears", which carried out a series of raids on JAAF airbases in ,Thailand,. The Japanese had moved aircraft to ,Malaya, to finish off ,Singapore,, and its remaining aircraft in the area (the 77th, 31st and 62nd ,Sentai,) launched fighter sweeps and counter raids on the Allied airfield at Mingaladon. On 12 January, the Japanese launched their ,Burma Campaign,. Significantly outnumbered, the AVG was gradually reduced through attrition, but often exacted a disproportionate toll of their attackers. On 24 January, six Ki-21s of the 14th Sentai escorted by Ki-27s attacked Mingaladon. All the Ki-21s were shot down by the AVG and RAF defenders. On 28 January, a fighter sweep of 37 Ki-27s was engaged by 16 AVG P-40s and two RAF fighters. Three "Nates" were shot down for the loss of two P-40s. The next day, another sweep of 20 Ki-27s of the 70th ,Sentai, was met by 10 Allied fighters (eight P-40s and two ,Hawker Hurricanes,). Four were shot down for the loss of no Allied aircraft. Despite these minor victories and Chennault's reinforcement of the "Panda Bears" with pilots from the "Adam and Eves", by mid-February, only 10 P-40s were still operational at Mingaladon. Commonwealth troops retreated before the Japanese onslaught, and the AVG was pressed into the ground attack role to support them. One unfortunate result of these missions was a prolonged air attack on a suspected Japanese column on 21 February that turned out to consist of Commonwealth troops. More than 100 Allied lives were lost in this ,friendly fire, incident. On 27 February, after hearing that the RAF was retreating and pulling out its radar equipment, the AVG withdrew to bases in northern Burma. By 24 January, the Flying Tigers had destroyed 73 Japanese aircraft while losing only five themselves – a notable performance, considering the AVG was outnumbered and faced experienced and fully trained Japanese pilots. The main disadvantage of JAAF fighter pilots of this period was the near-obsolescence of their predominant fighter type in the theater, the Ki-27. Though more maneuverable than the P-40, its armament and performance was inferior. Lightly constructed and armed, it could not withstand frontal attacks nor could it out-dive Allied fighters such as the P-40; if it attempted to, it often came apart in the air. In fact, its cruising speed was less than that of the Ki-21 bombers it was intended to escort.” [17] Flying Tigers - Wikipedia The zero wasn’t highly regarded at the start of WWII. It came to be. According to this excellent book the IJN shot down 50 Wildcats between 12/7/41 and 6/6/42. During the same time frame the USN shot down 50 Zeroes. Don’t remind the Navy guys. They are already arrogant AF. A Navy pilot when recruited into the AVG Major James Howard won the Medal of Honor in “Ding Hao!” (Working together) against the Luftwaffe. If you watch the WINGS! episode for the P-51 some of his gun camera film is in it. This cantankerous bastard was in the AVG too. Also the winner of the Medal of Honor. When Boyington was leaving active duty in the Marine Corps for the AVG, his C.O. came by. Boyington’s dog growled at the C.O. “That dog doesn't like me,” the C.O said. “He may know what you put in my fitness report.” “If you take that dog to China, they’ll eat it,” came the witty rejoinder. Boyington took a ship across the Pacific to reach Rangoon I think it was. There were some missionaries on board. Boyington told the one preacher that he was a missionary too. He had to duck out of sight when the preacher asked him to deliver the after dinner message.

What was the greatest battle that happened in Rangoon (Yangon), Myanmar?

“At this time, the focus of Japan's offensive efforts in the AVG's coverage area was southern Burma. The 3rd Squadron – 18 aircraft strong – defended Rangoon from 23–25 December. On 23 December, ,Mitsubishi Ki-21, "Sally" heavy bombers of the 60th, 62nd and 98th ,Sentai,, along with single-engined ,Mitsubishi Ki-30, "Ann" attack bombers of the 31st ,Sentai,, sortied against Rangoon.

In fact, its cruising speed was less than that of the Ki-21 bombers it was intended to escort.” [17]

In World War II, what design characteristics of a night fighter differed from a day fighter?

Schräge Musik Schräge Musik Schräge Musik, was the name given to a mount designed for Luftwaffe night fighters in World War II. Its main feature was that the guns were pointed upwards, allowing the fighter to approach and attack British bombers from below, out of visual range of the bomber crew. British bombers at the time did not have any ventral defensive installations, so the Schräge Musik wreaked havoc on the Bomber Command forces. However, the American B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator heavy bombers used the Sperry spherical turret for ventral defense so the, "Schräge Musik", was of little use against those aircraft. History This system for installing cannons on aircraft was widely used by the Germans during World War II. It consisted of nothing more or less than a pair of oblique guns firing at an upward angle, in order to hit the allied heavy bombers in their most vulnerable sector: the belly, an area in which the night bombers did not normally have weapons. Defenses and where the bombs were. Mounted on German Ju-88G and Bf-110G night fighters pointed upwards like the famous Lewis guns in some British fighters in the Nieuport and in the SE-5a, planes that achieved several successes attacking from the enemy's blind spot. An FW-189 with a slant-firing 20mm cannon Even during the early years of World War II, aircraft such as the Bolton Paul Defiant used their abilities as night bomber fighters, pointing their guns upwards. Until the arrival of the Schräge Musik, German fighters were simple day fighters with radar and normally attacked from the tail of the bomber, where there were always gun and machine gun turrets with a sharp-eyed lookout who, seeing the fighter, would dive out. Of your radar. So the Germans devised another system, approach from 300 meters away, behind and below, out of sight of lookouts and machine guns, accelerate fully and shoot climbing into the belly of the plane, with this the risk was to lose speed and be vulnerable to the explosion of the bomber and the towers being left behind without speed, but it was effective. Finally, experiments under the design of Lieutenant Rudolf Schönert were carried out in 1941 and 1942 in a Dornier Do-17Z-10 with radar, these consisted of having the guns pointed upwards at 90º, but it did not give effective results so it was tilted from 60º to 70º and in June 1943, the Ju-88 and Do-17 night fighters began to receive these systems that basically consisted of one, two or four guns located behind the cockpit, in the fuselage, with a tilt that sometimes reached at 80º. The advantage of this system was simple, the bombers could not see the fighter against the ground, but the fighters saw the silhouette of the bomber silhouetted against the sky. Schematic of the 2 MK108 30mm cannons used in the rear, known as Schräge Musik The Revi16 sight was modified to be able to aim at that angle and the available weapons were increased, the very powerful 30mm MK-108 was installed in a double battery in the Heinkel 219 Uhu, all these guns had special flame arrestor systems so as not to detect the flare of the shot and more subtle tracer ammunition. Near the end of the war, photosensitive cells were used for the automatic firing of these weapons. It is estimated that 80% of the night losses of bombers were due to this type of assembly also called Schrägwaffen against which the English bombers had nothing to do, the rear warning radar only detected aircraft entering from the tail and the lower windows and turrets had a lot of trouble spotting the stalking hunter. The most effective of the night fighters with this system was the Junkers Ju-88G-6, stable, fast and protected, it assured the pilot a quick reaction, since it was normal for a disintegrating bomber to fall on its hunter, this happened several times to the Do-17 and He-219, the Ju-88 being more agile. Similar systems were experimented with in day fighters but were ineffective. So effective was this system that it allowed the German fighter, black or dark gray, to be invisible, they only had knowledge of the attack when the shots began to break through the floor of the bomber. Users The usual facilities were: Do-217:, 4 x 20 mm MG151/20 cannons FW-189:, 1 20mm MG151/20 cannon JU-88C/G: ,2 x 20mm MG151/20 cannon JU-388J:, 2 MK108 30mm cannons He-219:, 2 MK-108 30mm cannons Ta-154 Moskito: ,2 cannons of 30 mm Bf-110G-4: ,2 x 20mm MG FF/M cannon Japan received plans for such facilities and mounted them on the Mitsubishi Ki-46 III KAI Dinah or the Ki-45, to hunt down American B-29s, but it was ineffective.

What is the truth behind the death of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose? How did he disappear? What was the political scenario at the time of his death?

My views are solely based on the various resources like news paper article,Historians,Wikipedia etc. Netaji Subash Chandra Bose’s death is still shrouded in mystery. But the various conspiracy theories about it make it even more mysterious. While recently the news about Gumnami Baba, a revered saint of Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh, who was believed to be Bose himself, came to the fore, we never cease to imagine how the great man must have spent his last moments on earth. Here is a look back at some of the most intriguing conspiracy theories: At 2 pm on August 17, 1945, a Mitsubishi Ki-21 heavy bomber took off from Saigon airport. Inside the aircraft were 13 people, including Lt Gen Tsunamasa Shidei of the Imperial Japanese Army, Col Habibur Rahman of the Indian National Army and one man who sat in a seat a little behind the portside wing – Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. After an overnight halt in Vietnam, on August 18, the plane arrived to refuel in Taihoku, Formosa (now Taipei, Taiwan). Moments after the flight took off again, passengers heard a loud ‘bang’. Ground crew saw the portside engine fall off, and the plane crashed. The pilots and Lt Gen Shidei were killed instantly, Col Rahman fell unconscious. Bose survived, but his gasoline-soaked clothes ignited, turning him into a human torch. The Mitsubishi Ki-21 twin-engine heavy bomber that Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and Col Habibur Rahman boarded at Saigon airport around 2 PM on 17 August 1945.

But is it true? “There were no official reports released by the Governments of India or Britain,” historian Leonard Gordon says, “Even members of India’s Interim Government in 1946 waffled on the matter. Bose had disappeared several times earlier in his life; so rumours began again in 1945 and a powerful myth grew.” What you will read next is a saga of secrets, political vendetta, outrageous claims, half-truths and full rumours that strive to prove that Netaji did not die on that fateful day in Taiwan. No dead body In the immediate aftermath, an intriguing, and perhaps damning fact emerged: Netaji’s other lieutenants, who were to follow him on another flight, never saw his body. No one took photographs of Bose’s injuries, or his body, nor was a death certificate issued. Netaji with Mahatma Gandhi. Image courtesy: ,wallpics.biz, As news reached India, senior INA officer JR Bhonsle rejected the news. Mahatma Gandhi said, “Subhas is not dead. He is still alive and biding his time somewhere.” Soon, rumours began doing the rounds that Bose was either in Soviet-held Manchuria, a prisoner of the Soviet Army, or had gone into hiding in Russia. Lakshmi Swaminathan, of the INA’s Jhansi Regiment, said in 1946 she thought Bose was in China. The Sadhu story In the 1950s, there emerged stories that Netaji had become a sadhu. And, the most elaborate of these took shape a decade later. Some of Netaji’s old associates formed the ‘Subhasbadi Janata’, and claimed Bose was now the chief sadhu in an ashram in Shoulmari in North Bengal. Through well-crafted newspapers and magazines, the organisation was able to, quite convincingly, recreate Bose’s post-war activities. According to the ‘Subhasbadis’, Bose returned to India after the war, became a sadhu, attended Gandhi’s funeral unseen in 1948, lived in a temple in Bareilly in the late 1950s, before finally settling in Shoulmari as Srimat Saradanandaji in 1959. Other versions, too, began gathering credence. Bose remained either in Maoist China or the Soviet Union. He attended Jawaharlal Nehru’s cremation in 1964, of which there appeared to even be photographic evidence.

The Soviet Connection and a Conspiracy After independence, Nehru took the Foreign Affairs portfolio himself and appointed Vijayalekshmi Pandit as the ambassador to Russia. After her term ended, Dr S. Radhakrishnan took her place. There are reports that Dr Saroj Das, of Calcutta University, told his friend Dr RC Muzumdar that Dr Radhakrishnan had told him that Bose was in Russia.

Image courtesy: ,bp.blogspot.com, In another report, former Indian ambassador Dr Satyanarayana Sinha met CPI founder Abani Mukherjee’s son Georgey, who said his father and Netaji were imprisoned in adjacent cells in Siberia. In 1995, a team from Calcutta’s Asiatic Society, researching Indo-Soviet ties in Moscow, found a bunch of declassified files that hinted at Bose having been in the USSR after 1945. Dr Purobi Roy, a member of the team of scholars, said she found a document stamped “most secret”, dated 1946, in the military archives of Paddolosk, near Moscow, which mentioned Stalin and Molotov discussing Bose’s plans — whether he would remain in the USSR or leave. Dr Roy also said she found a KGB report in Bombay from 1946, which said, “it is not possible to work with Nehru or Gandhi, we have to use Subhas Bose”. This implies Bose was still alive in 1946. This photograph allegedly shows water room-heaters behind Netaji. These heaters were in use only in the USSR at the time.

Bhagwanji, they say, was a monk who lived in Uttar Pradesh – Lucknow, Faizabad, Sitapur, Basti and Ayodhya – for more than 30 years till his death on September 16, 1985. He maintained contact with Dr Pavitra Mohan Roy, the former top Secret Service agent of the INA. However, more than his life, what Bhagwanji left behind after his death seems to confirm that the sadhu and Bose were one and the same: Gold-rimmed spectacles identical to what Netaji was always pictured wearing, powerful German binoculars, a colour photograph of Swami Vivekananda, Bengali books, the original copy of the summons issued to Suresh Chandra Bose to appear before the Khosla Commission, a map of undivided India, an album containing family photographs of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Left: Netaji’s handwriting. Right: Bhagwanji’s handwriting. Forensic expert Dr B Lal told the Mukherjee Commission that both handwritings matched. Image courtesy: ,nigamrajendra28.blogspot.in, Other items recovered included a torch pencil generally used in map-making by military personnel, newspaper clippings about Netaji’s ‘death’ probe, letters from Netaji’s followers. One of the more intriguing finds was a letter from a person who accompanied the Khosla Commission to Taiwan, which reads: “We got only 15 days in Taihoku (Taipei). Formosa’s (Taiwan) task is over… I cannot write everything in this letter, if you permit, I can come over for a week.” Photographs found among Bhagwanji’s belongings indicate he celebrated his birthday on January 23. There was no plane crash Clipping from a Japanese newspaper, published on August 23, 1945, reporting the death of Bose and General Tsunamasa Shidei. Image courtesy: Wikimedia Netaji could not have died in a plane crash because no aviation accident occurred in Taipei on August 18, 1945. In 2005, the BBC reported that not only did the Taiwanese government reject the Bose-died-in-a-plane-crash-in-Taipei story, it also denied any plane crashes occurred between August 14 and September 20 that year. Stalin killed Netaji Most recently, the BJP’s Subramanian Swamy has alleged that Bose did not actually die in a plane crash in 1945, but was killed by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin in 1953. “According to the papers that exist with us, Bose had faked his death and escaped to Manchuria in China which was under Russian occupation, hoping Russia would look after him. But Stalin put him in a jail in Siberia. Somewhere around 1953, he hanged or suffocated Bose to death,” said Swamy, demanding that the Netaji files be declassified. However, he conceded, “Declassification of Netaji documents in haste and without judging the consequences would be difficult. India’s relations with Britain and Russia may be affected. “But I will persuade the Prime Minister to disclose the documents.” Inquiries and Commissions The Figgess Report of 1946, the first official probe into Bose’s death, said: “As a result of a series of interrogations of individuals named in the following paragraphs it is confirmed as certain that S.C. Bose died in a Taihoku Military Hospital (Nammon Ward) sometime between 1700 hours and 2000 hours local time on the August 18, 1945. The cause of death was heart failure resulting from multiple burns and shock.” In sum, the Figgess Report confirms: 1. The crash near Taihoku airport on August 18, 1945, in which Subhas Chandra Bose was a passenger 2. Bose’s death in a nearby military hospital on the same day 3. Bose’s cremation in Taihoku 4. Transfer of Bose’s ashes to Tokyo The Shah Nawaz Committee of 1956 was India’s first inquiry, comprising three people – Member of Parliament Shah Nawaz Khan, West Bengal government-nominated ICS officer SN Maitra, and Suresh Chandra Bose, Bose’s elder brother. The committee interviewed 67 witnesses in India, Japan, Thailand and Vietnam, including the ‘survivors’ of the plane crash. Most importantly, it interviewed Colonel Habibur Rahman, Bose’s companion on the flight. Based on these testimonies, Khan and Maitra concluded Bose had died in a plane crash in Taipei. The committee’s third member, Netaji’s brother, however, disputed the report, claiming Jawaharlal Nehru orchestrated the inquiry to infer death by plane crash. Hindustan Times news report, Jan 21, 1971. Image courtesy: ,quora.com, 14 years later, the Government of India sanctioned another inquiry, this time by a one-man team – the Khosla Commission of 1970. Deposing before the Khosla Commission, Dr Satyanarayan Sinha had said Colonel Habibur Rehman had confessed to him in 1946 that he lied about Bose dying in a plane crash. However, the commission chose to concur with the two preceding inquiries into Bose’s death. More than 25 years later, yet another Government of India enquiry was constituted — this time, however, by a BJP-led government. In 1999, the Mukherjee Commission, led by retired Supreme Court judge MK Mukherjee, began his exhaustive probe into the Bose mystery. In 2005, after perusing hundreds of documents, taking oral testimonies, and visits to Japan, Russia and Taiwan, the commission reported that the Japanese and the USSR made a secret plan to grant Bose safe passage into the USSR. The commission also said that the ashes kept at Renkoji Temple, believed to be Bose’s, actually were of a Japanese soldier who died of a heart attack.

What was the most damage a non-US Navy ship had taken from a kamikaze attack?

A suicide bomber crashed into HMAS Australia: “Early on 21 October, a Japanese aircraft deliberately crashed into the foremast of the heavy cruiser ,HMAS ,Australia,. This aircraft was possibly either an ,Aichi D3A, dive bomber, from an unidentified unit of the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service, or a ,Mitsubishi Ki-51, of the 6th Flying Brigade, ,Imperial Japanese Army Air Force,. The attack killed 30 personnel, including the cruiser's captain, ,Emile Dechaineux,, and wounded 64, including the Australian force commander, Commodore ,John Collins,.” But the [capital K] Kamikaze special Attack Force didn’t perform it’s first mission until the Battle of Leyte Gulf in 23–26 October. Kamikaze - Wikipedia A kamikaze hit HMS Illustrious on 6 Apr 1945 near Formosa. Although no one was killed, damage to the ship was so extensive that she had to sail all the way back to Britain for repairs. HMS Illustrious (87) - Wikipedia
