"July 24th, 1947. Following reports and photographs by the USAAF of strange objects near the shore of a small island approximately 40 nautical miles west from Wake point, a team of US Marines dispatched to investigate come across a long deserted wreck of a Nakajima A9M3-N atomic rocket plane belonging to the IJNAS. A rare sight during the war and one of few surviving factory-made airframes, as most were typically hastily done field modifications by maintenance crews via stripping parts from A6M2-Ns or other available floatplanes."
