In order to find the aircraft you're looking for:
Choose one:
Look up aircraft by designator
Look up aircraft by manufacturer
Look up aircraft by type / function
Look up aircraft by Japanese name
Look up aircraft by Allied code name
This site covers most all of the Japanese Army and Naval aircraft used during World War II. It also includes those types that the Allies initially believed to be used by the Japanese, but were later found to be erroneous or misidentified types (which were later dropped from the identification lists). I have included those types to aid those looking for an aircraft by Allied code name, because even though a number of the code names do not apply to actual Japanese aircraft they were mentioned in historical accounts written during the war years.
All photos are believed to be at least 50 years old and in the public domain. Any comments should be directed to the webmaster. (Please specify the name of this site when emailing, as I manage several sites.)
Can't get out? If you arrived at this page via a search engine (looking for a specific plane), you've been forced into this framework so that the other frames are available for navigation purposes. You won't be able to return to your original search engine page by using the "BACK" button, but you can return there if you use the "Go" pull-down menu (Netscape) or the "History" menu (if you use IE).
