Two extraordinary photos of the imprint a kamikaze attack left on the hull of the HMS Sussex. The imprint perfectly resembles the Mitsubishi Ki-51 "Sonia" attack bomber of the Japanese Army Air Force, an aircraft usually mistaken for the Japanese Navy's Aichi D3A "Val" dive bomber. If you look carefully you can even see the position of the wing gun and landing light, which the "Val" didn't have.by Ronnie Olsthoorn Aviation Art
