Lots of masking
on this scheme. It was Commander Fuchida Mitsuo's
airplane, the tail was red so it could be identified. He was the
Commander of the first wave attack at Pearl Harbor from the Akagi, and
delivered the Tora! Tora! Tora! message.
Mitsuo survived the war, including almost being in Hiroshima the day
the Enola Gay dropped the atomic bomb onlyby
being called to a meeting that day in Yamato, 500 miles distant. He
became a Christian evangelist in later years.
