Japanese bomber crew

 

[Shinpachi]

Interesting pic but they are not Japanese.

 

[Robert Porter]

Where did the picture come from? Perhaps we can ascertain more of who they actually are?

 

[Shinpachi]

I should have said "They don't look Japanese" because no clues in China and Korea with such an old fashioned pilot costume.

The letters on the back can be read "혼수 (Hong Su)" in the Korean alphabet Hangul.

This is the building of Government-General of Korea in Seoul as a symbol of occupied Korea during 1911-1945.

This is also a school badge of an IJA flight school.
IJA Tachiarai flight school in Kyusyu had a branch school in Seoul.

I guess the picture came from Mr Hong's family.
