Inspired by this Viking1066's pic three weeks ago, I have worked on this CGI.
Thanks

The older aircraft are amazing. It's a shame they are only made in resin and pricey. I have some, but not many.

For your viewing pleasure, we have a look at early IJN aircraft before December 1941.

The last one, the Mitsubishi B1M was designed by former Sopwith draughtsman (not Sopwith chief designer as he is often erroneously credited with) Herbert Smith, who went to work for Mitsubishi in 1921 as designer/engineer.

A lot of British aviation technical staff ended up teaching aircraft design in Japanese universities and companies post WW1 as there was no work for them in the UK.

A number of the design features on the A6M show that Jiro Hirokoshi was a student of one or more of those Brit expats.

Today some pilots from ASISBIZ. Shinpachi, I am sure, can shed more light on the gentlemen.
