A UK-based website released details of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's movements a day before his plane crash in Taiwan on August 18th, 1945.
As per www.bosefiles.info, Subhas Chandra Bose departed Bangkok on the morning of August 17th, 1945 and reached Saigon before 12 noon. Many of the Indian and Japanese witnesses reported this matter to the 1956 Netaji Inquiry Committee. Even INA's chief of staff Major Gen Bhonsle confirms Bose leaving Bangkok for reaching Saigon on August 17th.
In Saigon, No plane was available to carry Subhas Chandra Bose to Northeast Asia. Its then General Isoda of Hikari Kikan told Bose that only two seats were available on a plane leaving for Tokyo. This prevented many of his advisers and officers from accompanying Bose.
Subhas Chandra Bose and his ADC Col Rahman boarded the flight. There was an issue of overload before take off and Bose has to discard a part of his baggage which include books and clothes.
