Description
The Hien was the only Japanese fighter equipped with a liquid-cooled engine during the Pacific War. Equipped with a German-made Daimler-Benz DB601 engine licensed production Ha40. It was characterized by a streamlined nose unique to a liquid-cooled aircraft and a long and narrow main wing. It was adopted as a Type 3 fighter in 1943, and its armament was strengthened several times to counter the highly bulletproof American military aircraft. Among them, the I-type Ding with the nose extended by 20 cm and equipped with two 20 mm cannons in the fuselage and two 12.7 mm cannons in the main wing was serialized from January 1944 to January 1945. Approximately 1,360 aircraft were manufactured. The Hien I-type Ding takes advantage of its excellent high-altitude performance and heavy armament to demonstrate its power in intercepting B-29s in the mainland air defense battle. In particular, the brave battle of the 244th Squadron led by Kobayashi Squadron, who was in charge of the capital's air defense, is well known.

Kurogane 4-wheel

The world's first practical four-wheel drive vehicle developed at the request of the Japanese Army is the Type 95 small passenger car, also known as the Kurogane 4-wheel. Various improvements were repeated even after formalization, and the type produced from 1937 is equipped with a 33-horsepower V-type 2-cylinder 1400cc air-cooled engine on a 3-seater body. Equipped with front wheel independent, rear wheel leaf rigid suspension and large diameter tires, it demonstrated excellent off-road running performance. Approximately 4,800 units of each type were produced from 1935 to 1934, and they continued to run for reconnaissance and communication in a wide range of fronts, from mainland China to Southeast Asia and the Pacific theater.
