What’s really cool about this footage, is the appearance of the rare cannon armed Ki-46-III Kai Otsu variant,

Some rare pics of the 61st Sentai’s Mitsubishi Ki-67 Hiryū or Peggy twin-engine bombers in 1945. My favorite Japanese army bomber, was fast well protected however came in too little too late to affect the war

Mitsubishi G3M “Nell” twin-engine bombers escorted by Mitsubishi A6M2 Model 21 Zero fighters in early 1942.
Kawasaki Ki-100-I Otsu of the 5th Sentai at Kiyosu near Nagoya 1945.
Kawasaki Ki-100 one of famous "accidental aircraft", created not because of detailed planning, but as some stop-gap.
Factory, that made inline engines for Ki-61 fighters, was destroyed by US bombers. But they've managed to attach radial engine to its fuselage, creating Ki-100.
Excellent, I will update the video description to incorporate this accurate info
My pleasure, I have also uploaded the footage showing the attack on the USS Edsall youtu.be/cFMgKK96EOg?...
