Re: Japanese aircraft to identify

OK! Mistubishi KI-15.

Extract from Wikipedia:

The Kamikaze (神風号, Kamikaze-go?) was a MitsubishiKi-15 Karigane aircraft, (registration J-BAAI) sponsored by the newspaper Asahi Shimbun. It became famous on April 9, 1937 as the first Japanese-built aircraft to fly from Japan toEurope. The flight from Tokyo to London took 51 hours, 17 minutes and 23 seconds and was piloted by Masaaki Iinuma (1912-1941), with Kenji Tsukagoshi (1900-1943) serving as navigator.

Thanks again,
Franck.
