IJN
Wartime
History
Abandoned at Clark Field.
Rebuilt by US Army ATIU
Selected as the best model from which to build a flying example for
testing, because it was not badly damaged nor badly souvenired. Rebuilt over several months by ATIU, it was stripped to all siver
with TAIU S16 tail code applied.
