Light bomber from carrier Kaga, downed in combat. According to the recollection of R. Lu, a Chinese veteran, it was shot down by heavy machine gun when 12 Japanese bombers jointly attacked a Chinese naval school in Jiangyin. However, Lu said there were three Japanese crew men on the downed plane, which might be an error due to Lu's old age at the time of the interview in 2005.
