yeah just uploaded a mission that I just finished on Fujitaro Ito, a JAAF Ki-45 ace. Here's a little info on the mission and Ito I got from the interent.
Fujitaro Ito enlisted in the Army in the mid 1930's, initially serving in the 36th Infantry Regiment. Entering flight training in April 1939, he graduated from Kumagaya Flying School in December and was assigned to the 5th Sentai, where he remained until the war's end. After flying for several years with the 5th Sentai, Ito entered the Aviation Commissioned Officers' Academy, graduating in Novermber of 1942, receiving his commission as a Second Lieutenant three months later. By July of 1943, the 5th Sentai was stationed in the Ease Indies, flying the Ki-45. Shortly after arriving in the Easet Indies, Ito's chutai responded to an attack by B-24s on their airfield. In the ensuing fight, Ito downed three of the attacking bombers.
hope you like it!
thanks
