Genda Photo - 1987

[GHP]

I had this photo in the piles of photos taken in Japan from 1990-1995. It was given to me by a retired JASDF pilot (LT. Col) who took the photo while he was still on active duty:


General (retired) Genda Minoru giving a lecture to Japanese Navy pilots about the Pearl Harbor attack. Aged about 83 years (about 1987).

He was a politician up for reelection every few years, so his face used to be on election posters all over the place when I was a kid.
