History of Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien

The Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien (Allied reporting name: "Tony") was one of the few Japanese fighters equipped with an inline engine, powered by the 12-cylinder inverted V12 Ha-40 engine based on the Daimler-Benz DB 601 design. These aircraft were used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force primarily between 1943 and 1945, as a response to growing Allied air superiority. It was employed during combat in China, New Guinea, the Philippines, Okinawa, and also used to defend the Japanese home islands against B-29 raids. The Ki-61 is best known for its role in the battle for the skies over Okinawa and for attempts to intercept American Superfortresses.
