More Air Corps items
Extremely rare Navy cup with airplane, which you will hardly
ever see. This is only the 2nd one I have ever found. The design
shows a plane and in the background is Mt. Fuji, a symbol of
Japan. The characters read 'Navy, Discharge Commemorative,
Okamoto.'
The pattern has an airplane and pine trees. Rare to find
airplanes in color. Inscribed 'Cadet Tsuda.'
Rare Air Corps cup with two planes. Inscribed '3rd
Air Corps, Discharge Commemorative'.
Here is a large container of some sort. The pattern shows
two fighter planes above the clouds. (One plane on either
side.) This is from the Mitsubishi factory, which was
notorious for its wartime use of forced labor, and of
course is famous for producing the most famous plane in
Japanese history, the Zero fighter.

Inscribed 'Showa 17 [1942] June, Kumamoto Factory
Groundbreaking Ceremony' and the Mitsubishi logo is in
the center.  I am not sure what kind of container this is,
but it has handles on the side. It could have had a lid, too,
but I'm not sure.
