Of particular iaterest are the two Ha 42 Mote} 22 (lis 104) 16-cylinder, (r-cooled enzines that wore oxanined for the first tine. A document has that take-off powor for these enzines is 1970 h.p., boost pressure is 40.7" ie, and the fuel rating 18 92 octane. This ts substantially confimed by Gocumonts from the erash, which also show the total tankage to be 1097 U.S. gallons; of which 49-4 callona are built into the wings and 567.6 gallons are bulit into the fuselage. Arsanont consisted of 1 x 12.7 mm nose gun, a hydraulically operated dorsal turret mounting « 20 mm Bromine type cun, 2x 12.7 tm side cuns (one carried on a post mount at each side) andl x 12.7 oh tail cin turrets Two pieces of £/6" nick "amon plate rere Fecovered, one piece protacting the pilot's beck and head and the other the co-piiot's back and heads ‘The dorsal power turret is shown in Figs. 2,4 and 6, Tt appears to be com parable to the olectrically operated hydraulte turret in BETTY 22, but 1t i not Clear at present whether the turret rovolves a full 360° as does the one in BETTY. A significant point was tho alleged finding of the rennants of a torpedo rack from whlch the torpedo appeared to heve been previously dropped or jettisoned, (TAIC comont: If the report is correct, this marks the first occasion that torpedo racks have actually been found on a Jap-Army bomber and indicates a change to & defensive role in the newer Jap aircraft types.) There ts a strong possibility that radar wes installed but direct evidence 41s lacking at present. -A later and nore comprehensive report will be tssued when additional dotatis are secured.
