Description

During the Pacific War, the Mitsubishi Ki-46 III Type 100 was used as a strategic reconnaissance aircraft by the Japanese Army. This aircraft was powered by two 1,300 hp Ha-112-II Kinsei-Kai engines and was capable of a maximum speed of 630km/h. From the request of the Japanese army, the world’s first light weight 4×4 vehicles were developed and named “Kurogane”. Around 4,800 units were produced and were used for reconnaissance and communication in China, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific.
