Hello ijnfleetadmiral,

1) For 13th Air Squadron, I have CDR Harada Eiji (Eng. 36) as posted Maintenance Officer on 25 April 1944. Did Air Squadrons have the position of Maintenance Officer, or is this in error?

According to wartime dailies, (Engineer) Staff Officer was often described as (Maintenance) Staff Officer.

2) For 21st Air Squadron, what were the circumstances of CAPT HONMA Yutaka (Eng. 31)'s death?

Unfortunately, his circumstances at the time of his death are unclear.

3) Is the following correct for 21st Air Squadron?

I think you listed the Chief of Staff of 1st Fleet. Certainly, when the 1st Fleet Commander also served as the 1st Squadron Commander, the 1st Fleet Staff was also served as the 1st Squadron Staff. Again, the first squadron did not have the post of the chief of staff, only (Head). Therefore, the staff of the 1st Fleet who also served as them was not the Chief of Staff, but (Head). In the Resignation, the staff was simply described as “the staff”, whatever their duties. Therefore, it is generally difficult to know who the fleet's (Head) from the resignation. (Fleet Staff were much more than Squadron Staff.) I once said that the rank of the Fleet Commander was VADM. In other words, when the Squadron Commander was RADM, the Squadron had its own Headquarters. In this case, since the number of staff was small, it is possible to estimate their role:
