ICM Ki-27a, Japanese Army Fighter

Description

The first serial monoplane fighter aircraft of the Japanese Imperial Army was the Ki-27. The first of two prototypes built by a Nakajima company was flying in October 1936. Series production was ordered in December 1937 as the Type 97 Fighter Model Ko (Ki-27a). The Ki-27a had excellent manoeuvrability and was a serious enemy for Soviet-built I-15bis and I-16 fighters in air battles over China and Mongolia in 1938-1939.
