Dreaded WWII Zero fighter takes to the skies over Japan
Manufactured by Mitsuibishi... that"s why i refuse to take up the saleman's offer for its car.
It's a tough call to make, considering:
- all the well known Japanese and German camera brands, including Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Leica, Zeiss, etc. made equipment for ranging, target acquisition, and others
- some of them also made x-ray film that was involved in the human experiments and other atrocities
- Toyota made tanks that would have crushed many a civilian in China, Malaya and even Singapore,
- etc.
Nakajima Aircraft Company dissolved and was reborn as Fuji Heavy Industries, maker of Fuji Rabbit scooters and Subaru automobiles, and as Fuji Precision Industries (later renamed Prince Motor Company which merged with Nissan in August 1966) If not mistaken, Nissan made tanks and trucks for the IJA before and during the war.
Kawasaki also built fighters although not as famous as the Zeke, it Ki-61 Tony see plently of actions in the pacific.
mitsubishit was involved with the production of type 95 ha-go light tank and type 95 chi-ha medium tank. never heard of toyota being involved in tank production during ww2. trucks and automobiles perhaps. the earlier type 87 chi-i and type 89 chi-ro medium tanks were modeled after the british vickers medium c tank and designed and built by the technical bureau of the ija. much earlier jap tanks were light tanks that were imported from france, mostly renault ft and nc1.
nissan was involved in truck, aircraft and engine production for the ija. no tank production.
Toyota made light trucks and cars during the war, and a copy of the DUKW called the Su-ki.
British fly their spitfire and hurricane all the time and no fuss.
