Where credit is given to the US Navy via Hal Andrews via Richard Bueschel. In fact Mr. Bueschel gives several photographs of this plane, which carried the number 263 on it's tail when tested at Wright Field, Ohio in 1945.Dirk P Broer 00:58, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

There is a distinct possibility that this aircraft may be the same as the one now in a Japanese Museum. If so, another photograph of this plane (in the painting scheme it once had in an American Museum) was recently deleted from Wikimedia as it infringed upon copyrights...You can see it at page 12 of the Aircraft in Profile no.118.Dirk P Broer 00:58, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
