The blister cowlings on the engines of Nakajima AT-2 J-BAOY identify it as an early production machine, perhaps the first.

Mainichi Shimbun's Gull Four J-BASC was originally registered to Percival as G-ACJP with a 130 hp Gipsy Major engine. However, the photographs of J-BASC show it to have the 155 hp Napier Javelin, identifiable by its exhaust system, and it seems that the purchaser must have requested the more powerful engine.

J-BAOI c/n 78 was the first Beech C17E 'Staggerwing' shipped to Japan. The Japanese insisted on the Wright R-760 engine and this and the Curtiss metal propeller were to be supplied for licence production. No evidence of the twenty aircraft said to have been built was found postwar but certainly the engines would have been a valuable acquisition. In the photo the top of the letter O is hidden by the shadow of the wing.

The Atlantic Fokker Super Universal was introduced by the Japan Air Transport Co in 1929, J-BASO being the first registration of ten imported in that year. Study of the register will reveal that not only the 6 bought from Atlantic and 4 'assembled from components' have US c/ns but so do 12 more which must correspond to 'full licence production' by Nakajima - in other words these were all US components with Japanese engines. A further 35 built by Manchurian Airways between 1931-34 appear to be the a/c with c/n series commencing with 1 for J-BCEO.

Lindbergh's arrival at Kasumigaura 26.8.31 in his Lockheed Sirius floatplane/landplane created great Interest In Japan and seven months later the Mainichi Shimbun took delivery of an Altair (In effect a Sirius with a retractable undercarriage) J-BAMC. Piloted by Seizan Okura it made the first Tokyo - Manila round trip 10 and 26.11.35. On 12.4.37 it crashed at sea killing pilot Oka and his passenger.

The Ernst Heinkel designed Hansas met part of the need for civil floatplanes when the Navy made them surplus. J-BAQI is little changed from its service form, although some Hansas were converted to have enclosed passenger compartments.

The Mainichi Shimbun always had an eye for fast-looking monoplanes and the Breda 33 was no exception. J-BANC was one of a number of aircraft they used for taking reporters to events and bringing back photographs.

The Kawanishi-imported Caudron C-109 J-BASH of 1928, a light trainer and runabout with 40 hp Salmson engine, was very economical to operate.

Travelair 4000 NR4835 "City of Tokyo" was flown in 1930 from Los Angeles to New York, shipped to London and flown via Berlin, Moscow and Korea to Tachikawa by Zensaku Azuma. It is believed to be the Travelair which became J-BAOJ and that it was heavily damaged in Korea in 1932 on a flight from Fukuoka in southern Japan.
