The Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate was the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force’s superlative late-war fighter, a fast and heavily armed single-engine design that could match the North American P-51D. Its prototype first flew in April 1943, service testing followed that year, and successive Ki-84-I through Ki-84-III branches served in China, the Philippines, and the defense of Japan.
