Nice video SM79. It was a case of too little to late for the Japanese. As the tests only started on August the 2nd there was no chance of active service for it. Did the Allies capture any examples after the surrender?

Interesting - for being so advanced it used an inertia starter...

Mosquito was a very advanced and successful aircraft even if it was made with the same material as HMS Victory.

Corsair had cloth-covered tail planes as FIAT CR-42 had.

Understand - but an inertia starter required extra bodies by the aircraft at start - an electric strarter, flip a switch and go...
