Given the nickname "Whistling Death" from the sound of it as it dives for targets during World War II. This one is hangered on the U.S.S. Yorktown as part of the floating museum. (5 years and 180 days ago)
Actually, that looks like a Aichi D3A. A "Val" carrier bomber. Nice find though. Looks kind of strange out in a field.
Howdie stranger!
