Japanese WW2 Airpower:
In Color
Compiled images digitally restored by Ron Cole
The image above was originally a black and white photo - but has been colorized and adjusted for contrast and clarity.
(ABOVE) Japanese Navy Aichi M6A 'Seiran' prototype captured in original WW2-era color. This image has been restored - but not altered.
(ABOVE) Not the best clarity, in spite of restoration efforts, but this original WW2-era color photograph reveals one of several
American P-40Es captured by the Japanese during the war - this one in Navy markings and shown after the August 1945 surrender.
(ABOVE) This photograph was originally black and white - but deserved careful colorization due to the presence of an extremely
rare overall black A6M2 'Zero' night fighter.
