Tachikawa Ki.54 Type 1 ("Hickory")
A total of 1,368 Tachikawa Ki-54s were built between 1940 and 1945. They were used as crew-training planes and for light transport. Known as "Hickory" in the Allied code, this small two-engine plane was produced in several versions, including an anti-submarine patrol model. The Ki-45 was completed in prototype in the summer of 1940 and went into production the next year as an advanced army trainer. The Ki-54b was used to train all kinds of crew members, including pilots, bombers, gunners, navigators, and radio operators. The final model was the Ki-54c, which was assigned to light transport and communications duties.
