Famous WW2 Quote
"The raising of that flag on Suribachi means a Marine Corps for the next 500 years."James Forrestal, Secretary of the Navy, 23 Feb 1945

Saw photograph of this aircraft B5M "Mabel"
in front of Mitsubishi Co.Hanger, character
on tail could be for a prototype/development
aircraft, but this is only my guess.
Aircraft looks like its in natural metal w/black engine cowling w/black scallops from engine to foward of cockpit, red scallops on landing gear leg.
If anyone understands Japanese I would like to know what the character means.
