Details About the RELIC:
This specific Kawasaki Ha40 Engine Canister was retrieved in 1989 from Ki-61 "Tony" (No. 704) at Babo Island Airstrip, Irian Jaya, New Guinea. Babo Airstrip was used by the Royal Australian Airforce until they evacuated in January 1942. Used extensively by both the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force and Imperial Japanese Navy, Babo became a major expansion base in the Pacific theater. By 1943, Babo became an Allied target and was attacked nearly 65 times until all Japanese forces on the island were neutralized. Many Japanese aircraft were strafed on the ground or crashed in the nearby jungle.
This original engine filter may have been strafed as it includes a single bullet hole through the center and the device retains most of it's original black paint with no signs of ensuing fire damage. This item has never been in collector's circulation and is an extremely rare artifact from the South Pacific conflict. Tony '704' was recovered in 1991 and is currently awaing restoration.
The Story Behind the Print:
27 January 1945 - Captain Teruhiko Kobayashi of the 244th Sentai, prepares for an attack on the B-29 Superfortresses of the 497th Bombardment Group, 73rd Bomb Wing. The 497th had attempted to attack Target 357 (aircraft engine factories) numerous times with little impact. On this day, Kobayashi dived down with his wingman and attacked the B-29 "Irish Lassie" (42-65246) by crashing his Ki-61 Hein (Tony) into the bomber's wing. Awaking after a brief period of unconsciousness, Kobayashi parachuted to safety. Although claimed as a kill by the Japanese that day, "Irish Lassie" safely delivered her crew back to base and broke in two upon landing.
