Tsutomu Kamijo (1905-1983)
A graduate of the MIT, aircraft engineer for the MItsubishi Heavy Industries during the ww2.
Contributed much to rebuilding Mitsubishi as a major repair factory for the US Forces during the Korean War.
An interesting anecdote would be his advice to a Mitsubishi staff during the war - "Don't work so hard. Japan can't win the US."
Kamijo. Probably 3rd from the left.
From the left: Director Moriya, Maj Woodyard, Maj Maylor, Kamijo and Secretary Hayashi.
