	The Nakajima Aircraft Story
		Nakajima Aircraft, founded by leader Chikuhei Nakajima and other eight members, grew brilliantly and ended its fated life along with World War II, resembling that of an image on a shadow-picture lantern.
		Dr.Koyama, a representing chief engineer of Nakajima Aircraft, said at the end of the war, "We, as Nakajima aircraft engineers, have been doing our best in engineering and producing aircraft for the survival of the nation, but there is an unmistakable truth that the aircraft bereaved many young precious lives.
		The aircraft as a weapon is debatable, but the keen-edged beauty, portrayed by the aircraft, has the aura of a roman inviting to a new world.

	A6M2 and A6M3 Secondary Markings
		Nakajima plates were larger, either 50mm by 70mm or 55mm by 70mm.
		Nakajima plates, measuring 45mm by 50mm, were made of brass and brazed onto the front of the strut.
		In all likelihood an aircraft serial number was not painted on the tank but it has been recorded that the last two digits of the airplane tail code were written on the aforementioned fairing.

	Nakajima G8N1 Renzan history (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Although Japanese twin-engine bombers achieved the range and payload of many western four-engine aircraft, by the end of 1942 the Japanese Navy concluded that a four-engine aircraft was required to perform long-range strikes against enemy bases in support of the fleet.
		Handling was not a strong point of Nakajima planes; despite the large control surfaces the Renzan's steering response was slow and it was said to have a rather large turning radius.
		When the war ended in August 1945 the Nakajima Aircraft company which worked almost exclusively for the military, was dissolved by order of GHQ into more than 15 companies.

		The vertical stabilizer was canted forward to keep the overall length of the aircraft within the dimensions of existing carrier deck elevators.
		Nakajima created the C6N1-S by eliminating the observer and installing two oblique-firing 20 mm cannon in his place.
		The aircraft was part of the shipment of 145 Japanese aircraft sent to the U.S. for technical evaluation.

	Ki-115 'Tsurugi' Closeups (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The major impetus in building this aircraft was the perceived lack of available obsolete aircraft to use in kamikaze attacks should the Allies invade the home islands.
		The aircraft was to use a droppable main landing gear to save weight, so a simple welded steel tube landing gear was attached to the aircraft (see the photo above).
		While none were operational, two were sent to the Showa Aircraft Company to use as pattern aircraft for a proposed naval version of the Tsurugi.

	Nakajima Oscar
		The army needed to replace the nimble Nakajima Ki-27, and open-cockpit, monoplane fighter later codenamed NATE by the Allies.
		Nakajima addressed both of these shortcomings, and incorporated other minor refinements, when the firm introduced the Ki-43-II in November 1942.
		Nakajima achieved it by building a spare, tidy airframe powered by a relatively small engine.

	Subaru
		While the company was split into 15 smaller entities at the end of the second world war, five of these companies regrouped for the purpose of producing automobiles.

		The Nakajima Hikoki K.K. (Nakajima Aeroplane Co Ltd) was Japan's oldest aircraft company and was a highly-integrated engine and airframe production complex, which made just about everything from aircraft engines and airframes all the way to pig iron and aircraft ordnance.
		Unfortunately, the aircraft was considerably overweight for the available power, and there were lots of problems with the oppositely-rotating engines.
		The maneuverability, although fairly good for a twin-engined aircraft, was considered to be inadequate for the demands of combat against enemy single-seat fighters.

	Dauntless Dotty Story
		In addition, the Nakajima plant was covered in patchy cloud at the time and only 24 of the B-29’s dropped their bombs in even roughly the right place.
		The aircraft would attack individually, which meant no assembly over the base at the start of the mission or along the way would be needed.
		Aircraft could go directly to the target and return, maximizing the bomb load and saving substantially on fuel.
