Great picture, thanks for posting it.

Does anyone know what that patch sewn on the sleeve of the tallest engineer might signify?

It is called the J7W1 Shinden
Total flight time at the wars end was about 45 mins. There is some information on the net about it and other photos. Many photos do not have people so you do not get a sense of the its size.

Any ideas what happened to it? Sounds like the kind of thing the Americans would have hauled home.
