Re: The official AHF Japan at War quiz thread
Although the last answer was correct and the baton should have passed on, I have arbitrarily decided to ask the following question:
Takagi Masao and Nakashima Ikken were two young men who graduated from military academies in the 1940-4 period and served the Empire during WW2. How did they become famous?

Takagi Masao (高木正雄), real name - Pak Chung-hee (朴正熙)
Nakashima Ikken (中島一權), real name - Chung Il-kwon (丁一權)
Both of them were Koreans. After the WW2 they took part in the Korean War. Pak Chung-hee was the president of South Korea in 1961-1979. Chung Il-kwon served as South Korea's Prime Minister and as the ambassador to the USA and France.

Correct! Now you have the pleasure and the duty of asking the next question.cloudy-joe wrote:Takagi Masao (高木正雄), real name - Pak Chung-hee (朴正熙)

Well, thank you Mostlyharmless.
This is the picture of pilot`s instrument panel of Navy special attacker Okha 11 (source: “Japanese aircraft interiors” by Robert C. Micesh):
1 Rocket selector

3 Altimeter
4 Compass
5 Airspeed indicator

For what purposes the №8 device was used?

I'll take the initiative, and make my first post in this thread, if no one minds.
What IJN warship is this?

This is an enlarged part of a wartime photo. And it's not Yubari.

Re: The official AHF Japan at War quiz thread
I'll give it to hisashi since he got the class correct. This is actually an enlarged portion of a photo taken aboard cruiser Oyodo during June 1944. At first, just an ID of the class could be made (Akizuki-class), but then someone over on j-aircraft's IJN board noticed the funnel markings. This made IDing her easy, and also an exceedingly rare find. The pic I posted is the only known photo of DD Shimotsuki.
Who's next?

Then I'll take on.
In 1931 a Japanese Sake firm asked a famous militaryman, who by chance visited their workshop, to name their brand-new Sake. He named it as Suirai. The firm sold the Sake in the name of 'Top Suirai'. Suirai was a vague name for naval mines, torpedo and similar underwater explosives. Later IJN preferred Gyokei Suirai (fish shape suirai) =Gyorai as the translated word of torpedo.
Who named this Sake? I have tasted this one but was not very impressed (no bad). A little old-fashioned sake in 2010s...
