Historical Description of the N1K Kyofu "Rex" Aircraft

The N1K Kyofu (“Rex”) aircraft was a Japanese fighter seaplane developed for the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. Entering service in 1943, the N1K Kyofu was mainly used in the Pacific—the variants took part in battles over the Philippine archipelago and the Aleutian Islands area. Although limited production (fewer than 100 units) prevented the model from playing a key role, the Kyofu stands out as one of the most interesting seaplane designs of that era.
