Historical Background and Usage

The Kawasaki Ki-10-II Type 95 was one of the primary fighters used by the Imperial Japanese Army during the interwar period and at the beginning of World War II. The aircraft debuted in the mid-1930s and was widely used during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1939) and in the early years of World War II, until it was replaced by more modern designs. Thanks to its light weight and good maneuverability, it proved highly effective in aerial combat during that era.
