"Toryu II"
In a second version of my painting titled "TORYU",
I've portrayed the same action from a different view angle. This was done to
accommodate the vertical format of a book jacket which was published by
Osprey Military Books in England. A Ki-45 "Nick" piloted by Lt. Kenji
Yamada of the 53rd Sentai, a ramming squadron, dove through the formation of
B-29s of the 500th Bomb Group cutting "Z Square 12" in two. Only one crew
member survived the ramming which took place over Tokyo Japan on 19 February
1945.
