J-TIRU Itoh 31 Three-passenger/1 pilot pusher biplane flying boat (Hispano-Suiza 220hp 8-cyl water-cooled vee). CofA 11.22. Choichi Inoue (NKYK). CofA returned 17 days later (27 11.22) due to damage. [This aircraft is called the Itoh 27 by NKYK, but was developed from the unbuilt Itoh 28 and usually known as the Itoh 31. The Register gives it as Itoh 37, which may be the c/n. Subsequent history is not clear in official records, said to have been used until 1924 by NKYK.]
J-TOUA Itoh Type 27 four-seat biplane (Hispano-Suiza 200hp). C/n Type 27 No.2. CofA 7.24, Otojiro Itoh. CofA expired 1.25. Details of this type not known, however we note that the Itoh Emi 31 (see J-TIRU) was referred to as the Type 27 by NKYK, could this be a modification of the same aircraft?

Регистрационный номер: J-TIRU [2] Based on the Curtiss Seagull hull, the Itoh Emi 31 three-passenger flying boat J-TIRU was intended for the NKYK - Japan Air Transport Research Association, of Osaka. This company, set up by Choichi Inoue, operated ex-Navy Yokosho seaplanes and the Itoh Emi 31 would have been a more realistic option for passenger services.

Other results of the same typhoon on the NKYK fleet. The upper photo shows I-go Ko-gata J-TAOO which was also destroyed. In the lower photo another of the type, J-TOFL "Chidori No.2", lies beneath an overturned flying boat. This looks so much like the Itoh Emi 31 but with a military roundel, that we may have discovered the final fate of J-TIRU - but see also notes on J-TOUA.
