Thanks, Matt308.
Thanks again, proton45.

I'll fall asleep for sometime.....zzz
The photo in link says it shows B-17 and DC-5 but I think it's B-17D and DB-7B; note long engine nacelles characteristic of a DB-7/A-20, compared to short ones on a DC-5, see photo's below. 32 DB-7B/Boston III's from RAF stocks were diverted to the Dutch Naval Air Force (MLD) in the East Indies as stopgap pending the MLD's own order of DB-7C's. Only 6 DB-7B's were actually delivered to Java, at least one of which was made flyable by the Japanese and only one was brought back to Japan. Most of those not delivered to the Dutch ended up with the RAAF. None of the DB-7C's were ever delivered to the MLD, though many sources mistakenly call the captured a/c a DB-7C. It was DB-7B RAF serial no. AL904. There was also a captured ex-KLM DC-5, and it probably flew over Yasukuni the same day, since both a/c were diplayed together at Haneda field in July 1942, with other a/c including B-17D 40-3095, a Martin 166 (KNIL export B-10), a B-339D (KNIL Buffalo) and a P-40E captured in the Philippines; those were likely among the planes that flew in the October display as well.Captured 5 allies aircrafts B-17, DC-5
