The ki-46 was the best purpose built recon airplane of the war, being faster than many late war fighters. It was to recon planes what the D4y Judy was to carrier based dive bombers. What the Japanese needed were well equipped, modern fighters to compete with what the US was turning out.

Best purpose built but still outmatched by the Mosquitos and Lightnings in their recon versions though this aircraft probably had other features such as better crew comfort.

That’s awesome! I would love to see it in person myself. We often walk past aircraft without knowing their history. Hopefully you’ll get back at some point.

Always slips with some poor information. On this one I haven’t seen an entirely wrong aircraft, so that is improving. Still hard to get over writing decimals such as 46.3 feet, instead of the factual 46 feet 3 inches. I do enjoy the general content and pictures though :) Keep improving!

46.3 feet is not 46 feet 3 inches though.

The speed is pretty impressive, 375 mph. That's see significantly better than the Zero. The Ki 46 would be hard to catch even into the late war.

British built aircraft like the spitfire mark5 and mark8 use by the Royal Australian force. A spitfire mark5 in the South Pacific shot down one in 1943 and the RAF or British air force use than in Asia against Japanese to. The mark8 called catch the Mitsubishi Ki-46 easily there were more don US built aircraft. Deer was even Australian built aircraft to but called not catch the Mitsubishi Ki-46

Out of curiosity do you check your writing for errors? I'm definitely asking a stupid question because trying to read all of what you wrote is starting to make my brain bleed.
