Description
The Nakajima Type 4 Hayate (Frank) was another in the line of very successful fighters including the Type 97 Ki-27 (Nate), the Ki-43 Hayabusa (Oscar) and Ki-44 Shoki (Tojo) that were produced by Nakajima for the Japanese Army Air Force.
The Hayate, powered by a 2000hp Ha-45 engine, boasted excellent speed, maneuverability, firepower and defensive armor. After approval of the prototype at the end of March 1944, the aircraft was officially declared "The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere Fighter", immediately put into heavy production and sent into all theaters of combat in the Far East including China, the Philippines, Okinawa and the defense of the Japanese islands.
It was reported that the Hayate was so successful that it was able to seize temporary air superiority over China facing mainly P-40 and P-51 opposition.
