Yokosuka B4Y1 "Jean" Aircraft looks like its
overall silver w/black engine cowling, red hinomaru markings on wings and fuselage with
red tail and horizontal stabilizers.
On the tail looks like Japanese characters
could be "Hokoku" presentation inscription.

Aircraft were donated as a gift from groups,
companies, organizations and individuals
throughout Japan delivered to the Imperial
Japanese Navy.
