Thanks Knight_74!!
Found the book (which is "out of print" by-the-way) at Amazon.com for $21.95 to $26.95. Will get myself a copy.
Isn't this Internet the best thing since sliced bread? I just love tapping into the collective mind of the world. What an information bank!
Thanks to all for the input. I later found a site dealing with paint schemes that also listed that as the reason.
If anyone knows of a good site listing Japanese aircraft markings with illustrations of Group, Squadron, and Flight insignias etc. I'd love to have it.

Now the kill count makes "cents". Didn't mean to start a brouhaha though; but it's fun to watch the shootout nonetheless.
I have to agree with Gnomey though; they seem to be pointless (the kill count that is), but what does a "newbie" know!
I've looked all over the site and can't find an explanation for the "Confimed/Unconfirmed kills". What is it and what changes the numbers?http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/images/smiles/icon_sad.gif
