Japan produced some world-class aircraft. "Peggy" could have been a serious threat had they been able to field enough of them. A good looking model of a big interceptor!

Warren, thanks for getting this up and running.

Thanks for commenting, Fred. I was surprised at reading the performance of the plane. With good speed and high maneuverability it could have been a serious threat in the anti-shipping role, similar to the B-25.
