The Ki-27 was the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force's main fighter until
the start of World War 2. When placed into combat service over northern
China in March 1938, the Ki-27 enjoyed air superiority until the
introduction of the faster Soviet-built Polikarpov I-16 fighters by the
Chinese. The preference of Japanese fighter pilots of the Ki-27's high
rate of turn caused the Army to focus almost exclusively on
maneuverability, a decision which came back to haunt them later as it
handicapped the development of faster and more heavily-armed fighters. The
Ki-27 served until the beginning of World War II in the Pacific, escorting
bombers attacking Malaya, Singapore, Netherlands East Indies, Burma and
the Philippines. The type also saw extensive action against the American
Volunteer Group (Flying Tigers) in the early months of the war. Soon
outclassed by the American P-40’s, the Ki-27 was replaced in front line
service by the Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa. The Ki-27 was also exported for
use with Manchukuo and Thai air forces, seeing combat with both. In Thai
service, Ki-27s reportedly damaged two P-51 Mustangs and shot down one
p-38 Lightning - Wikipedia |
