On display at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, National Air and Space Museum. The Okha 22 was an improvement over the Okha 11 that had a range of only 37 km. After a number of Okha 11s were lost along with their carrier G4M2e Betty bombers on several sorties, it became necessary to extend the range to 130 km by installing the Hitachi Tsu-11 hybrid motor-jet engine. This is the only surviving Model 22.

On display at NMUSAF since 2004. This rare Type 21 Zero was recovered from Kavieng, New Ireland and bought by the museum in 1971. Said to have been flown by 6th Kokutai, it is now painted with tail code A1-3-102 to represent a section leader's Zero from the aircraft carrier Zuiho during the Battle of the Bismarck Sea in Mar 1943. Zuiho Zeros wearing J3 grey normally used tail code EIII until Oct 1942. The carrier's Zeros were based ashore during Feb-Mar 1943 to provide support after the Guadalcanal debacle. The longer spinner of this externally well-restored Nakajima-built A6M2b is evident.

Japanese Navy 'George' fighter preserved in the Dulles Museum.

Made up of parts from several aircraft but mainly an A6M2 recovered from New Britain in 1973. Acquired by the Australian War Memorial in 1974 which restored it to static display condition.

The Gekko night fighter was not named after the small nocturnal lizard - it means 'moonlight' in Japanese. Seen here with the Northrop N-1M, a Northrop P-61, the forward fuselage of a J7W Shinden canard fighter and an MXY7 Ohka.

A rare opportunity to see the P-1 outside Japan.

These are just two of many JMSDF P-3s parked on the ramp of the Naha base that day. Note the CH-47J Chinook, 67-4496, taking off in the background.

Gloucestershire Aircraft changed its name to the simpler Gloster in 1926. The Sparrowhawk was a development of the Nieuport Nighthawk for the Japanese Navy. The Mk.I was a single seat fighter, the Mk.II a trainer, the Mk.III a carrier aircraft. Japan acquired 90 aircraft, some built locally.
