Hello,

I am looking for photos or copies of photos of Japanese Naval pilots Ryoji Ohara, Sei-ichi Nakazawa and others related to the 204th Kokutai, and also photos of Rabaul, etc. Also wanted are photos or copies of photos of Henderson Field (Guadalcanal) - Fighter 2, 339th Fighter Squadron planes and pilots, etc.

Thanks,
Dale Niesen
