Dear Gentlement, The "Imperial Tour Commemorative Medal" : One of the interesting things about this medal is the "letter" in the middle of the third sentence, the one in the red square because it's an obsolete "letter" using the " jeju vowel / a". And I wonder if the modern form is "항". If someone could confirm or correct, please, thank you. Yours sincerely, No one

Dear Japan : Do you know if there was a badge for those exercises? I quote David Bergamini's "Japan's Imperial Conspiracy" : "...(Yamamoto) ... Late in the spring of 1941 he selected the harbor of Kagoshima, the old capital of the seagoing Satsuma clan, as the site for carrier-pilot exercises in dive bombing and low level torpedo run. Aside from its historic association as the sixteenth century womb of the Japanese Navy, Kagoshima harbor was suitable because of its topography closely resemble that of Pearl Harbor."
