A nice picture of Ki-115, Snautzer01!
The airframe is still preserved in a warehouse of Tsukuba City nearby Tokyo.
This is not officially displayed because it may need restoration for the purpose.

 
It appears as though the bomber in the first picture (Helen?) has false glazing painted on it's nose, and perhaps a contact fuse sticking out the middle? It appears to be a training aircraft from the Hamamatsu Bombing School. I wonder if it was just an airfield decoy or an unused kamikaze aircraft.

You are welcome, Jim !
For the security, the Ki-49 of the first photo belongs to Army Hamamatsu Flight School.
The person "Kasagi" might have been a pilot there if those photos had been taken there.
 
Thanks. I believe the Ki 21 is the plane with the smallish "meatball" all the way to the left in the last picture in post #183. You can only see the tail, but I believe they are one in the same. Was this photo taken at the school?
