Historical Information and Use

The Kawasaki Ki-61-I Tei, also known by the Allied codename "Tony," was one of the most important Japanese fighters of World War II. This type of aircraft served in the Imperial Japanese Army from 1943, mainly in the Pacific theater and during the defense of the Japanese homeland from bombing raids. A distinctive feature of the Ki-61 was its liquid-cooled inline engine, which gave the aircraft an elegant and dynamic appearance, different from most Japanese fighters of the era.

Ki-61 aircraft were widely used during the battles for Burma, New Guinea, the Philippines, and Okinawa, as well as in the defense of Japanese territory against Allied B-29 bombers. Their tasks included both engaging enemy fighters and escorting their own bombers, as well as participating in intercept missions.
