Je suis à la recherche de données aériennes concernant l'aviation japonaise présente à Okinawa en 1945 durant la bataillle d'Okinawa en avril-juin 1945.
J'ai déjà pas mal de sites qui traitent beaucoup de l'activité terrestre et navale, mais force est de constater qu'on ne relate pas grand chose concernant l'aviation japonaise.
Alors je suis preneur de toutes infos, avec des points plus particuliers si vous aviez:
1. les bases aériennes en services.
2. les effectifs et types d'avions en activités.
Alors si jamais vous avez des infos, des livres traitants de ce sujet, n"hésitez pas à me donner les références.
D'ailleurs à ce sujet, existe il un numéro des batailles aériennes (ou une autre revue sur Okinawa) ?
Merci d'avance de votre aide.

Y'en a pas, les américains avaient l'habitude de nettoyer à l'avance... Quand les américains débarquent, les avions japonais attaquent à partir de Kyushu et autres îlots au Nord d' Okinawa.
L'avion, l'avion, l'avion, ça fait lever les yeux, etc...

Merci, déjà un début de réponse...
Même si l'aviation à Okinawa était quasi nulle, les avions japonais intervenaient de Kyushu. Interressant...

Enemy Counterattacks by Air and Sea
The American command was aware of the likelihood of formidable attacks by both air and sea on the assault forces. Okinawa was close to the Japanese home- land, where the remaining strength of the enemy's naval and air forces was concentrated. To meet the expected air offensive from the near-by fields of Kyushu, Shanghai, and Formosa, the Americans relied upon Task Force 58, the Tenth Army's Tactical Air Force, the guns of the fleet and supply ships, the British task force, and land-based antiaircraft artillery. To ensure early warning of Japanese raids, the Navy established around Okinawa a ring of picket stations, manned by destroyers and destroyer-type vessels, to which gunboats (LCS) and later LSM(R) types were added to give increased fire power. These stations were all less than 100 miles from Zampa Point, the peninsula just north of the Marine beaches; some, were only a few miles off the coasts of the island. Combat air patrols were maintained day and night over the picket stations, which could also call for aid from the routine combat air patrol of from 48 to 120 planes aloft during the daytime, orbiting in depth in a circle around Okinawa. Task Force 58, deployed just to the east of Okinawa, with its own picket group of from 6 to 8 destroyers, kept 13 carriers (7 CV and 6 CVL) on duty from 23 March to 27 April and a smaller number thereafter. Until 27 April from 14 to 18 converted carriers (CVE's) were in the area at all times, and until 20 April British Task Force 57, with 4 large and 6 converted carriers, remained off the Sakishima Islands to protect the southern flank. Two Marine Fighter Groups were installed and operating at Yontan and Kadena airfields by 9 April, and other Marine and Army Air Groups were added later. All assault antiaircraft artillery of the XXIV Corps was ashore by the night of 4 April, and that of III Amphibious Corps by 12 April. Japanese airmen were to find these combined defenses formidable.26
Enemy air opposition had been relatively light during the first few days after the landings. On 6 April the expected air reaction materialized with a fierce attack of 400 planes which had flown down from Kyushu to drive the invaders from Okinawa. The raids' began at dawn, and by noon Task Force 58 had shot down seven possible suicide planes. Throughout the afternoon the battle increased in intensity. Patrol and picket ships, which throughout the operation proved an irresistible attraction to enemy planes, were a favorite target. Japanese planes also appeared from time to time over the Hagushi beaches and transport area and were taken under fire by the ship and shore.

Un autre site avec des données sur les attaques aériennes japonaises, surtout des missions suicide.
http://www.nps.gov/wapa/indepth/extCont ... 0/sec4.htm
Il semble que les avions suicide étaient pour beaucoup des avions obsolètes datant d'avant-guerre et utilisés pour l'entrainement ou des navettes (j'ai lu le nom de code US de "Alf" pour ces avions). Ils cotoyaient les bombes volantes "Buka" larguées depuis les Bettys.
