- Does anyone
have info on the use of the Ki-60 (Six - Zero, not the Hein) in the early days
in Malaya, possibly with the 47th? And if so, was one confirmed as lost? I'm
trying to backtrack from a report that one of the RAAF pilots shot down an
in-line Japanese fighter on December 23, 1941 near Kuala Lumpur. Many thanks,
and aplogies if this is well-covered ground.

- Let me
guess, Jim . . .
-
- A pilot shot
down a fighter with an inline engine because he had been briefed by his
intelligence officer that the Japanese were probably building and flying German
Me 109 aircraft . . . Seems a lot of pilots saw 109s and 110s early in the war.
But it was simply because they were told to expect them.
