Found this while looking for something else. Google Translate is no help, it leads me to a Japanese book store website, 日本の古本屋...

It's a popular magazine "Hinode (日の出 = sunrise)" Feb 1944 issue.
Nice find, Geo

 

[fubar57]

Thank you Shinpachi

 

[Shinpachi]

My pleasure, Geo.
The Hinode had nothing to do with nationalism until the war broke out.
Pages from August 1935 issue.

Something like Time magazine in the U.S. during the same time frame I would imagine

Caption says ".....captured American aircraft at Tachikawa..." but what of the aircraft at the end of the line. Looks like a J2M Raiden or N1K1 Shiden

​

EDIT: I guess it could also be the F2A Buffalo

 

[Capt. Vick]

Oh that's a buffalo my friend

Nice find, Geo

Great photos Shinpachi. Since you posted them I've been looking for numbers of B-29 shot down over Japan. Nothing definite yet but not as many as I thought
