Good morning, everyone.

A colorized version of a photo from around 1945 showing the night fighter "Gekkō" abandoned at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines. Well then, let's do our best this week too.

The Nakajima J1N1 Gekkō (月光; moonlight) is a twin-engine aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. A prototype first flew in May 1941. The first full production variant of the Gekkō, the J1N1-C was a reconnaissance aircraft, although many of these underwent field modification into night fighters; in addition, a night fighter variant, the J1N1-S was later put into production. Towards the end of the war, J1N1 pilots also undertook kamikaze anti-shipping missions.[1] The Gekkō was given the Allied reporting name "Irving".
