Replica on display at Gifu-Kakamigahara Air and Space Museum. This was a licence-built version of the Salmson 2A.2 that became the Army Type Otsu 1, Japan's first military aircraft used in the reconnaissance role. It first flew in 1922 from the village of Sohara, which later merged to form Kakamigahara. Kawasaki built around 300 of this type till 1927.
