Please don't actually translate it, I'm just curious if it makes sense to you.

No problem for me to read at all but, certainly, I wonder how it would be for my son.
If he should be interestd, I would teach him like "This word 瓩 is not used today but means kilo-grams."

Japanese younger guys still learn the ancient Chinese literature at high-school like I did decades ago.
There would be no problem for them to read either.

Thank you, I had no idea that he had done work such as this. My mother was fortunate to have such a teacher!
 
IJA did not clarify data and Kawasaki only confirms the fact as a maker. General aviation records tell that there was a 15 hour non-stop flight between Japan and Taiwan in 1929.

Japanese cluster bomb Kurai(空雷).
I have not heard the Kurai but Mk3 bomb for IJN or Ta-bomb for IJA.

Your photos of the aircraft shelters are interesting to me because on a Cub Scout hike out of Grant Heights in Narimasu, we discovered a few of those shelters. Grant Heights was an American housing area that was built on a previous Japanese airfield. Our main street had been its runway.
