WWII German National Flag-Unissued W/ Price Tag$50.00Overview of Original WWII Iwo Jima, Kamikaze Attack Squadron Flag W/ Flight Goggles & Photos
Item Details
This Imperial Japanese raw silk Kyokujitsuki Rising Sun flag, (31.5” x 27”), reads from center: "SUPREME COMMANDER OF IWO JIMA, KURIBAYASHI TADAMICHI KAMIKAZE ATTACK SQUADRON". Written in the outer sun rays are the names of each pilot in the squadron. (See photos for names translated to English) ALSO INCLUDES: Original yellow lens flight goggles and two photographs of Mitsubishi Zero aircrafts in flight. Both of these items were obtained together, with the flag, from an original Kamikaze pilot's family in circa 1970. EXTRA HISTORY: Selling with this outstanding original grouping is the death notice copies of each pilot mentioned on this flag. These copies were recently obtained from official Japanese Government Archives and some clearly bare false dates - crossed out and overwritten. This was done to “buy time” for fortifications on Okinawa & Honshu to be completed for the arrival of the allied Amanda. PROVENANCE: This unique grouping of Japanese WWII items is from an outstanding private Pacific War collection from a retired Japanese doctor. Here is the collection history dictated from the owner: "My collection started in Australia in 1969 when I was assigned to work at the hospital on Bribie Island Sth East Queensland, that was a staging point for allies into the Pacific in particular PNG Malaysia Indonesia, Java, and Guadalcanal. Training for special Z forces commandos' missions also. Military hospitals were also established on Bribie island & many soldiers retired to Bribie island after the war. I continued collecting after moving to Papua, New Guinea in 1970. I purchased these items from the original Kamikaze's family in circa 1970-1972 (flag, goggles & photos). Leaving PNG in 1980, I continued collecting in Australia until 1992, then moved back to Japan, collecting throughout Japan. It is currently not clear which Kamikaze pilot's family these items were sent to. Shipping Cost: $30.00 for lower U.S. - International Shipping based on carrier rates.
