Hi,

I am looking to identify two planes in pictures I have from when my grandfather served in WWII. I have inserted them as they were originally and after slight editing.

My grandfather, Bernard J Hurley, was a Corporal in the 895th Chemical Company of the U.S. Army. He served with Air Corps in Texas, Missouri, Australia, New Guinea, Philippines, and Ie Shima (Ie Jima), Japan.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Thank you! That's right on! No wonder I couldn't find a picture! I'm so appreciative. I am from Burlington County, New Jersey. --Jill
 
I don't think the cockpit is a Ki-49 Chris, different from this...

Thank you. That cockpit picture does look different. What kind of aircraft is that one?

If you look at Jill's photos I think you'll find the windscreen assembly dislodged fro the cockpit structure. It does have the same triangle window, no doubt in my mind it's a Helen (Ki-49).
