History of the Original

The Mitsubishi Ki-46 was designed to meet the need for a long-range and fast reconnaissance aircraft for the Japanese army. The Type III version was the most advanced variant, equipped with more powerful Mitsubishi Ha-112-II engines and a modified glazed cockpit, which improved visibility. These aircraft were used in combat over the Pacific: in China, Burma, Indonesia, and also during the defense of Japan's home islands against B-29 bombers.
