Historical description and application

The Nakajima Ki-44 Shoki, known by its Allied code name "TOJO," was one of Japan’s main frontline fighters during World War II (Country of origin: Japan). Entering service in the early 1940s, it was intensively used from 1941 to 1945. The aircraft was distinguished by its high speed and agility in vertical maneuvers, making it effective both as an interceptor of B-29 bombers and as an escort fighter. The Ki-44 saw combat on the Chinese and Philippine fronts, and during the defense of Japan’s home islands.
