Nakajima Ki-27 | The Nimble "Nate"

The Ki-27 was one of Japan's first monoplane fighters. It's success (along with some amusing commercial/political machinations) put Nakajima in a strong place to manufacture several successful aircraft that would see action during World War 2.

The Ki-27 saw action during the Sino-Japanese war, featured prominently at the battle of Khalkin Gol, and was the primary fighter used by the Japanese Army during their expansive campaigns in early 1942. Though obsolete by the outbreak of war with the United States, sheer weight of numbers allowed the Ki-27 to keep the pressure on its enemies whilst more modern fighters were being brought up to higher operational numbers.

Producing these videos is a hobby of mine. I have a passion for history, and personally own a large collection of books, journals and other texts, and endeavor to do as much research as possible. However if there are any mistakes, please don't hesitate to reach out and correct anything :)
