    The Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service of Usa was originally established on October 1st, 1939, in order to conduct simulated combat training programs for the naval aviation. As the American forces advanced through the Pacific Ocean during the Second World War, the facility served as the airbase for the special attack unit Tokubetsu Kogekitai, sending out hundreds and thousands of young Japanese men for combat in the south Pacific. Usa City Peace Museum illustrates a piece of this pivotal point in world history through the lens of exhibited artifacts pertaining to the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service of Usa, bombings in the city, the Tokko Tai unit, and other relics of war found in Usa. Also exhibited at the museum is an actual-size replica of the Mitsubishi Navy Type 0 Carrier Fighter, also known as A6M "Zero" fighter aircraft, used by said unit during the war.
