  Kyushu J7W Shinden
Kyushu was not a leader in high-performance aircraft, having very little experience in such venues.
That the Navy decided to choose them to build the aircraft was based on two factors, one being that the Kyushu designers had few projects on their hands and secondly, that the Kyushu production lines were not breaking under the weight of turning out product as other manufacturers were.
Kyushu did finish a second prototype of the J7W1 before the close of the war but it was not to be flown before it fell into Allied hands.

Koji Takaki was born in Saeki City, Oita Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan in 1933.
His hometown was located at the mouth of the Straits, and he remembers one occasion in March 1945 when, as a boy, he watched American carrier-borne Corsairs attack Saeki Airfield before he jumped to the safety of his family's ‘foxhole'!
He has subsequently collaborated with Henry Sakaida in writing articles for The Hook magazine as well as acting as co-author and translator on various other projects connected with the air war over Japan, such as the acclaimed Genda's Blade in 2003.

On April 15, 1945, a flight of eleven Hayates from the 100th Sentai made a surprise air attack on American airfields on Okinawa, damaging or destroying a substantial number of aircraft on the ground.
However, eight of the Hayates were destroyed in the attack, and one made a forced landing on a small islet near Kyushu.
Although the Ki-84 was intended for the offensive, penetration role, Hayates were assigned to the defensive role over the Japanese home islands during the last few weeks of the war, operating with the 10th Division responsible for the defense of Tokyo.

 Second World War Books Review
Hikoki has been making a name for itself over the last couple of years with some strong offerings in the field of serious aviation titles for serious students of aircraft and airpower.
This long-awaited and long-delayed title, translated from the original German, is another example of Hikoki's devotion to going beyond the superficial.
That this is not a book for the casual fan can be quickly determined by the opening chapter: "What Is Colour?" From that rather metaphysical beginning the author moves to a more prosaic but no less rigorous investigation of "Regulations and Historical Documents" to build an underlying foundation for what will follow.

A Marinha Imperial Japonesa requisitou à Kyushu Hikoki KK o projeto de um caça interceptador de alta performance na configuração Canard, e embora possuísse pouquíssima experiência para projetar e construir um caça tão pouco ortodoxo, a Kyushu iniciou os trabalhos.
O que norteou a escolha da Marinha Imperial foi a disponibilidade de recursos da Kyushu, e não a sua perícia, pois as companhias mais capacitadas estavam com seus recursos totalmente ocupados, e não tinham disponibilidade para iniciar e conduzir um projeto completamente inovador.

 Kyushu J7W Shinden ::: www.avionslegendaires.net
La Marine Impériale confia la construction du nouvel appareil à la firme Kyushu en juin 1944 en lui adjoignant les meilleurs techniciens dont, bien sûr, le concepteur Masaoki Tsuruno, et dix mois plus tard, en avril 1945, deux prototypes étaient prêts pour les essais.
Il était armé de quatre canons de 30 mm à tir rapide (450 coups/minute) logés dans le nez et pouvait emporter 120 Kg de bombes.
Fait unique, et le temps pressant, la marine l'agréa avec enthousiasme sous la désignation J7W1 Shinden (Foudre magnifique) et ordonna la construction en série avant même les essais en vol, avec une production prévisionnelle de 30 exemplaires pour Kyushu et 120 pour Nakajima.
