Bugyotsuji Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 Hi there, ... perhaps there are too many things to address here, so people have been unable to answer. The first thing is that the photos are too small (for me anyway) for any consideration to be made. The reason for this is either you have just appeared and as a newbie do not yet have full facility usage, or that you have been unable to strike a happy medium with the photos. Which is it, I wonder? Have you tried using a hosting site with links, which would cut down on bandwidth usage? Secondly there is a rule here about signing your posts with a real name. Once you get used to this, it becomes frustrating if people arrive with no name. Thirdly, there is a hint in your post, ie 'multipics' that there is a large volume of pics. Perhaps people are shying away from being asked to get involved in potentially heavy work by someone appearing out of the blue? Hoping that the above comments will help to get some kind of ball rolling for you. Quote
Grey Doffin Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 Since this will be a bunch of work, and tough to do from photographs, I think you'd be better off finding a Japanese person where you live or nearby. Since the writing dates to WWII, not that long ago, any reasonably well educated native speaker of Japanese should have little trouble reading this (at least that's my guess). Grey Quote
bdgrange Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 Not sure which major city you are near, but I would find the Japanese consulate and ask them. I would also go to the nearest major university and see if they might offer assistance. good luck Bill delagrange Quote
jeramy Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Posted July 3, 2009 Well, i tryed to upload better pics but this site limits file size so thats why i couldn't get better pics up but i guess thanks anyway i'll look else were for some help. I live in Kansas and there not too many Japanese speaking people in the area. If someone truely like to help i'd appreciate it i can email better pics. There are many pages but the ones with the drawings of the planes interested me most. Jeramy Quote
