Kawasaki Ki-45
KAI Toryu “Nick”
This NICK was one of about 145 Japanese aircraft delivered to the United States for evaluation after the war. The Ki-45 was used primarily in the ground attack and anti-shipping roles. The Toryu was also the only Japanese Army night fighter to see action during the war.
The Ki-45 was popular with flight crews, who used it mainly for attacking ground targets and ships. This Ki-45 Kai Hei night fighter version (one of 477) is the last known surviving "Nick" of the 1,700 built by Kawasaki.
