On 23 June 1945, a P-51 (15FG, 47SQ) crashed in the mountains of Kuga-mura
(present Tako-cho), Katori-gun, Chiba-ken.
The Japanese fighters from Hyakurigahara Naval Airbase attacked the formation of
P-51s which had assaulted Shimodate Airfield over Yokaichiba and this P-51 was hit
by A/A fire and crashed.
1/Lt. John V. SCANLAN bailed out and was taken prisoner.
