1945 Flown Impressive Just Kawasaki Rushed
EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph showcases the Kawasaki Ki-100, a Japanese Army fighter aircraft that first took to the skies in February 1945. With a sleek and aerodynamic design, the Ki-100 was an impressive addition to the Japanese aviation industry during the final months of World War II. Despite being rushed into service just two months after its first flight, this advanced fighter managed to make a significant impact. The Ki-100 was a formidable opponent, boasting a top speed of over 370 miles per hour and a range of approximately 1,150 miles. Its armament included two 30mm cannons and two 12.7mm machine guns, making it a formidable force in the skies. Sadly, the production of the Ki-100 was limited, with just under 400 units built before the end of the war. This photograph captures the essence of a brief but impactful chapter in aviation history. The Ki-100's legacy serves as a reminder of the technological advancements and innovations that emerged during the turbulent times of the Second World War."
