I defer to your judgement on the designation of course
Please, I am certainly not saying that I am correct.

Bradenav is correct. I forgot to remove the clue in the photo properties. The aircraft was operated by the newspaper Asahi Shimbun, which offered a $25,000 prize for the first aircraft to fly non-stop from Japan to the U.S. This aircraft, J- BBEA, the sole Kawasaki C-5, crashed in Manchuria in November of 1935. You have control.

Hello Richard,

I think that in the case of the Kawasaki's image it was even simpler, if you right mouse click on the image and then select Properties from the menu that appears, then you will see the full path name ending with "kawasaki-kdc5-1934.jpg"

It's always worth a check, as LM say's it's an easy mistake to forget to rename the file before uploading it. However, I suspect that you correctly identified it the hard way!

I have a MAC : no right or left click : only regular and honest click,and you can click the photo as much as you want ,nothing appears .
So ,some successful challenges where only clicking affairs ? Shoking .


Sorry Ridge Runner,it's not Russian .
