I see the US Navy repaired 'Koga's Zero' . But can it be found anywhere today? (Museum?)

[Jack Cook]

It was wrecked in a taxi accident. Only the data plate and a few instruments remain.

What did they do with Koga's body?

Bury it there next to the wreck?

[Owen Miller]

Koga's Zero was chopped to pieces by the prop of a Helldiver
in a taxiing accident. Before it was destroyed it played an im-
portant role in formulating tactics for Naval Aviators to use
against the Japanese.

[Jack Cook]

Koga's body was buried at the crash site.
I was later intered in a small cemetary with
other Japanese dead. It has disappeared now
some believing it was among others returned to
Japan post war.

I see- Thanks Jack.
