Aircraft History Built by Aichi. Delivered to the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) as Type 99 Carrier Bomber Ku Ku Kamba (Kanbaku) / D3A1 Model 11 Val manufacture number unknown. Wartime History Crashed on New Georgia near Marovo Lagoon. Wreckage The crash site near the airfield includes pieces of the wreckage including the engine, wing, center section and tail. Chris Cowx adds: "About 100' in from the kitchen area [of Anges Lodge] was a Japanese Val dive bomber. It is in three pieces now. The engine is on the edge of a clearing and the center section and wing including dive brakes and landing gear is in the middle. The tail is at the edge opposite the motor. It is fairly intact considering the way it must have come down. Not worth a special trip to see but the place is nice to simply relax for a time. It is definitely a Val (fixed landing gear, tail, overall wing shape)." Contribute
