Photo Comment

As far as I know, this is the only surviving Ki-51, or Japanse Army Type 99 Assault Plane, or 'Sonia' to the Allies, or Guntei to the Indonesians. Its wreck was found in New Guinea in 1987, but it's painted as a Ki-51 used by the Indonesians against the Dutch after World War II. Radio mast is broken and pointing forward
