HAYATE and SALLY over New Guinea; a staff-officer of the 29th Fighter SENTAI escorts a SALLY from Head·
quarters Flight, 8th Air-Division. Painting by Jack Leynnwood.
NATEs of the 84th Independent Chutai, called the "NAGANO-GROUP", 3rd Flight, in French Indo China, 1941.
This was one of the early "esprit
de
corps" units, and carried the red fuselage striping,
as
well
as
the eagle wings
on the wheel spats. Each Flight was identified by an oblique stripe, colored white for the 1st flight, red for the
2nd, yellow for the 3rd, and blue for the 4th. Also, the entire rear face of the propeller was painted red. This unit
was formed from the 3rd Chutai of the 64th Sentai, and although it
is
not readily discernible in the photo, all air-
(Witold Liss)
craft traditionally carried the hawk symbol of Col. Kato, who had commanded the 64th.
