Photo obtained from http://www.airwar.ru/enc/sww2/e16a.html - no copyright asserted there. We can safely conclude this is a photo made by a Japanese National prior to 1956. War damage is not evident, placing the date well before 1956, and there is no reasonable explanation for how a foreign national could take such a close photograph of a Japanese military plane during the Pacific War.
