攻擊恆春!

上面這張拍攝日期不詳的照片取自美國海軍的「Being the Lives, Deeds and Heroic Sayings of Fleet Air Wing Seventeen and Her Sons: 15 September 1943 to 30 September 1945」,根據照片的說明,地點是台灣的恆春飛行場。停在露天掩體的兩架飛機都已冒出白煙,其中最前面的一架疑似中島B6N天山艦上攻擊機,第二架應該是中島Ki-27九七式戰鬥機(如果機型識別有誤,敬請指正)。不過這兩架飛機應該在美軍炸射前就已經損毀,日軍只是拿它們來當作誘餌。然而我不懂為什麼陸軍和海軍的飛機會出現在同一座飛行場上。
In this undated photo from Being the Lives, Deeds and Heroic Sayings of Fleet Air Wing Seventeen and Her Sons: 15 September 1943 to 30 September 1945, smoke can be seen emit from two, possibly three, Japanese aircraft. The caption says the location is Koshun (now Hengchun), Formosa. The aircraft in the front looks like a Nakajima B6N Tenzan (“Jill”) torpedo bomber, while the one next to it appears to be a Ki.27 (“Nate”) fighter. (Since I am not good at identifying WWII Japanese aircraft, I could be wrong.) But both seemed to have been damaged before this attack and were used as decoys.

由於已經知道拍攝地點是恆春飛行場,所以要找出確實的位置就不是那麼難。以下這張空照圖涵蓋的範圍大致就是上圖可見的區域。
It was not too difficult to pinpoint where the strafing took place at Koshun Airfield. The following cropped overhead reconnaissance photo roughly covers the same area as in the top photo.

我把同一區域用白色框標示在下面恆春飛行場的空照全圖中。
This area was at the southern corner of the airdrome as indicated by the white rectangle in the following photo.
