Mitsubishi 'Dinah' (Army Type 100 Command Reconnaissance aircraft) Ki.46

(Japan)
The graceful Ki.46 was an excellent high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, and one of the few aircraft that could escape fighters by its high performance. The Ki.46-III had an unstepped nose, the other versions had more conventional lines. An attempt to use it as B-29 interceptor was less successful, due to the type's low climbing speed. 1742 built.
