Re: Рассказ японского...
Странно, что комментатор не догадался уточнить у гугла, какой-же самолет участвовал в столь значительном событии, как последний воздушный бой ВМВ и написал комментарий гадательно, когда есть точные данные.
Это был Consolidated B-32 Dominator, с номером 42-108532 и названием "Hobo Queen II", вот этот самый:

У него есть своя страничка:

А вот описание самого случая с американской стороны:
On August 17, 1945 took off from Yontan Airfield at 6:55 piloted by Captain James F. Klein, with B-32 108578, B-32 42-108539 and F7B Liberator on a mission to photograph the Tokyo area from Chiba to Kido and Higurashi to Iwabe. Although the war had ended, the bombers encountered anti-aircraft fire from Miyakawa Airfield and were intercepted by fourteen Japanese fighters over Chosi, including an A6M5 Zero piloted by Saburo Sakai. The fighters made ten firing passes singularly, without causing damage or pressing their attacks. Returned to base at 18:30. This was the last aerial combat between American and Japanese aircraft during World War II.
