Flares

The IJN and IJA used to drop parachute flares for illuminating targets during night actions, though I am not familiar with their dispersal method.

So this is me guessing.

Graeme is a little better at this game than most of us mortals.

 

[Capt. Vick]

I've said THAT before

 

[Graeme]

Thanks - but far too much credit gentlemen!
I identified it as the Mansyu Ki-79 (Francillion) and Googled...

And looked at the first hit...

And within it - right at the bottom...

 

[Capt. Vick]

And modest also! I love this guy!

 

[Graeme]

I love you too Jim!
