Japanese Carrier Plane Markings

[zwerge]

I was trying to make a list of the tail markings of Japanese planes at Pearl Harbour and after the Midway battle,when they had to make a slight re-arranging of things. This is what I think is correct,any other info or corrections is appreciated.
Akagi...AI-101 (representative number)
Kaga...AII
Soryu...BI
Hiryu...BII
Hosho...CI
Zuiho...CII
Ryujo...DI
Junyo...DII
Shokaku...EI
Zuikaku...EII

After Midway

Zuikaku...AI-1-101 (representitave number)
Shokaku...AI-2-101
Zuiho.....AI-3-101

Hiyo....A2-1-101
Junyo..A2-2-101
Ryuho..A2-3-101

Here`s a pic of the tail marking of a plane from the carrier Ryuho which was used in the diversionary attack while the Midway battle was in progress.

I wish I had the time to do this kind of research Zwerge. It's really interesting to study the different operational schemes. Always fun to take a closer look at things.

Here`s a couple of pics I found on the `net of two that didn`t make it back to their carriers,one from Akagi,and one from Hiryu.
