  • 空母ハーミーズ 撃沈!

    セイロン沖海戦でイギリス海軍の軽空母「ハーミーズ」を攻撃する空母翔鶴艦爆隊の九九式艦上爆撃機です。
    1942年4月、インド洋のセイロン島(現在のスリランカ)を空襲した南雲機動部隊は同9日、戦闘海域より避退中の英空母「ハーミーズ」を発見、「翔鶴」「瑞鶴」「飛龍」「赤城」から計四十五機の艦爆隊が発進、味方機の上空掩護の無い同空母は日本艦爆隊にとって「動く標的」でしかなく、攻撃開始後僅か十五分で海中に没しました。艦爆隊の爆撃命中率は82%と、驚異的な数字を記録しました。
     最近航空機のイラストを久しく描いていなかったので、練習をかねて久しぶりに作画・投稿させていただきました。
     去る5月22日、尊敬する航空機イラストの第一人者、下田信夫先生がお亡くなりになりました。謹んでご冥福をお祈りいたします。

    Aircraft Carrier Hermes Sunk!

    A Type 99 bomber of the carrier Shokaku squadron attacks the Royal Navy's light aircraft carrier "Hermes" during the Battle of Ceylon.
    In April 1942, the Nagumo Task Force raided the island of Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) in the Indian Ocean, and on the 9th of the same month, discovered the British aircraft carrier "Hermes" in retreat from the combat zone. The carrier, which had no air cover from friendly aircraft, was nothing but a "moving target" for the Japanese bombers, and was lost in the sea just 15 minutes after the attack began. The strike rate of the bombers was 82%, an astonishing figure.

    I have not drawn an illustration of an aircraft for a long time, so I drew and submitted this illustration for the first time in a long while for practice.
    On May 22, Mr. Nobuo Shimoda, a leading aircraft illustrator whom I respect very much, passed away. We pray for his soul rest in peace.
