Kyushu K11W1

[baldy]

I have just uploaded, on behalf of Uncle TGT and myself, our latest effort.

This aircraft was the Japanese Navy's bomber crew trainer and was used for navigation, bomb aiming and air gunnery training. Introduced in 1943 it somehow never received an Allied code-name. Towards the end of the war was used, as was virtually anything that flew, on Kamikaze missions.

At least two aircraft appeared in 'Surrender' colours at the end of the war

The initial package has one texture folder but Uncle will be uploading others as a separate pack


All the best

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Aircraft - Japanese

Description: Bomber crew training aircraft entered service mid 1943. Although nearly 800 produced it went practically unnoticed by the Allies so didn't merit a code-name. In the last desperate battles of the war it was used for Kamikazes missions, reportedly with a 250kg bomb slung underneath. There are also photos showing at least two of them in surrender colors (all over white with green crosses)

This is a joint baldy / Uncle Tgt project

Msfossey and Baldy,

Well stated. I had no idea of this aircraft's existence either. Thanks for the lesson, and the aircraft!

I'd never heard of it either until Uncle Tgt suggested it as a possible project
