Yokosho K2Y2 - Etajima - 海軍3式陸上初歩練習機 江田島海軍兵学校

Yokosho K2Y2 - Etajima - 海軍3式陸上初歩練習機 江田島海軍兵学校: In March 1941 Asahi reporter Hayashida Jugoro had the chance to visit the aviation section of the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy in Etajima (here) and the photos below from a vintage publication accompanied his brief article.


In this most interesting and rather rare photo of a Navy Type 3 Primary Trainer (Yokosho K2Y2), a design based on the Avro 504, all the details of the Gasuden "Jinpu" engine are clearly visible.
