Mitsubishi Ki-46 III: Historical Background and Use

The Mitsubishi Ki-46, also known as the "Type 100 Command Reconnaissance Aircraft" or "Dinah" (Allied code), was a fast and highly regarded reconnaissance aircraft in the hands of the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. The version III, designated Ki-46 III and introduced in 1943, was significantly modernized—it was equipped with more powerful Mitsubishi Ha-112-II engines and aerodynamic improvements. These aircraft served, among others, during the Pacific campaign and in China, where they played a key strategic reconnaissance role from 1943 to 1945.
