Ha I never knew the Japanese had gliders (cept for Ohka training) till this.......did they have ones that carried troops cause those looked like single seaters
 
Gliders were and are popular with local students.

Two German instructors came to teach aviation basics to Japanese students.
Our students at that time were good at German.
"PHOTO WEEKLY" Sept 1941 issue introduced details.
Copies attached below.

Their names were
Guster Bensyu(Aviation Model Manager)
Carl Neat(Rotenberg National Aviation Model School Chief Instructor)
Sorry if mistakenly spelled.

Japan Soaring Club today.

This is a good opportunity for me to know our aviation history too.
Thanks.

A senior lady refers to an old glider in her recent blog.
Please let me introduce.

**********
When I was arranging my old family photos today, a photo of my brother in his young days came out.
My brother and I have a lot of years apart.

He was nineteen years old and a Medical University student then.
I know he was joining a glider club and hovering over the sky on board the glider of the left photograph.

He is still keeping the youth by riding a horse or something with which people are not so familiar...

The Pacific War started and, soon after the photograph was taken, he joined naval preparatory training course to lose a lot of his friends in Kamikaze missions afterwards.

When I said "In my recent sightseeing trip to Guam and Saipan, I saw Zero fighters being sunk in the sea." , he commented gently "Don't see such things. It's pitiful." and didn't even try to see my photos.

He was just about to join the Kamikaze if the war should have continued a little longer.
Missing his gone friends, he says he can't understand why we, younger generations, can see such relics for the purpose of sightseeing.

Today, I have glanced at the emotional difference between those who experienced the war and othres who do not know it.

Hi Flyboy2.

If you may need more information about the Birdman Contest, I'll be happy to check it. They are crazy enough to enjoy the life!
 
cool info there Shinpachi, maybe if I get a chance I might make a few into pdf files. Many thanks
 
hi shinpachi,

opp's wrong finger trouble, should have read Ki2.

thank you very much for the others, is the photo weekly on the site, or do you have to go there to see it, if on the site, how do i find it.

hi micdrow,

already doing it, and removing the text parts(japanese), when i have finished i will post them on here.
 
The Photo Weekly Reference Codes are confirmed
from A06031059600 to A06031094600

The code number steps every 100 like A06031059600, A06031059700, A06031059800....A06031094600
Totally 352issues

I tried access with the code from English page and failed as there are no service for the data yet. Though this is my guess, the best way will be you directly access the Japanese home page of JACAR and type the code in search box and click the search.
I don't think there should be any problem to access directly to the data except the garbled characters on the way.

English page

hi shinpachi,

the codes will do it nicely, already played with the home page, but your guidance proves i was doing it right,
thank you very much.
playing with the images in psp7, the one with the P1Y, as they are like blueprints, i am changing them to negative image, details in black with white background, they seem to appear much clearer that way.
 
Hi sagindragin,

You have already been advancing. It seems I worried too much.
Congratulations! and Good night here(It's just 1:00am):)
