-In early 1944 the Japanese military attaché in Germany was shown the Me-262 along with several other advanced German aircraft. He reported back to Japan on these new aircraft who authorized him to open negotiations to buy a production licence for the Me-262 & Me-163. Documents for the two planes along with a complete Me-163 and other aircraft parts where then loaded onto the Japanese submarine I-29 in Lorient France and left on 16 April 1944 to take the perilous journey around Africa back to Japan. On 14 July 1944 the I-29 arrived in Singapore, several of the passages then disembarked and completed the rest of the trip by plane, taking some of the Me-262 documents along with them. Once resupplied I-29 also left Singapore to complete it's journey back to Japan, while going through the Luzon Strait though the I-29 was intercepted by American forces and sunk with only one survivor. With the loss of the I-29 the engineers at Nakajima only had the few documents flown from Singapore along with the memories of a few offices who had seen the Me-262 first hand.
