Additional Information
"Nakajima Hickok kabusiki kaysa" was tested in 1939. For the first time confronted with the Japanese fighters in December 1941, the Western allies experienced a real shock.

And not only psychologically. In the field of technology, neither the Americans nor the British also had nothing to oppose the Japanese aircraft, the level of development of which, as it turned out, was very high. First of all it concerned fighters who managed to win domination in the air in the shortest possible time and thereby promoted military successes of Japan much.
the development Team led by Hideo Itokawa decided to apply to the new fighter, which received the designation Ki-43, wing in its shape and profile is very similar to the wing Ki-27. But the fuselage was re-designed, which became longer - to balance the mass. Also changed was the vertical tail and the shape of the canopy.
