When Ashes Turned Into Bones!

18th August, 1945 "At 2:30 PM the nosewheel lifted off the ground gently and the plane began its climb. Captain Nakamura, the maintenance officer at the Matsuyama Aerodrome, first heard a Terrifying Boom. He got to know that something fell from the plane. It was the Propeller and the Port Engine. The Pilots deliberately tried to control the bomber but they failed. When the Plane Crashed, the 'INA Chief' got a splash of Petrol all over his 'Cotton Khaki' and it caught fire when he struggled through the nose of the plane. The cut in his head was a long one, about four inches. After the fire was put off he was shifted in a Lorry to Nanmon Military Hospital. Dr Yoshimi's Observation made clear that his body temperature was 39 centigrade and the pulse rate 120 per minute. He was brought to the ward from the operation theatre. After an hour, he fell into complete Coma. Around 9 PM, India's Greatest Son was no More! " A file photo of matsuyama
