Request of US translation of Japanese captured document: CINCPAC-CINCPAO Special translation #73 (4 Viewers)

Hello everyone. I write this thread as request to community about US translation of captured Japanese document called: "Aircraft Section, Supply Depot, Study of Increase of Armor, Bullet-Proofing, Fire Extinguishing Equipment, and Armament of Various Aircraft, Japanese Army Air Force (1944) [CINCPAC-CINCPOA Special Translation #73]"

If anyone have it or can help with searching of this document it would be very nice

The document itself is placed in Japanese NDL but it starts from page 41 while most interesting translations are placed in 1-40 pages

国立国会図書館デジタルコレクション

Its mention was found in book Exploding fuel tanks where it is used as source in chapter 6 talking about army aircraft protection.

Interesting that it looks like this document has information about nitrogen fire extinguishers for army planes like Ki-49, Ki-21, Ki-51.

I couldn't find mention of fire extinguishers on this planes (only for Ki-67 was found) in available Japanese documents so information in this Special Translation #73 looks extremely rare and useful.

Thank you for interesting and helping

You could try these people. If you can find a complete translation I am sure others here would like to see it.
