Description

The Ki-27 was the first serial monoplane fighter aircraft of the Japanese Imperial Army. The first two prototypes, built by a Nakajima company, flew in October 1936. Series production was ordered in December 1937 as the Type 97 Fighter Model Ko (Ki-27a). Ki-27a had excellent maneuverability and was a serious enemy for the Soviet-built I-15bis and I-16 fighters in air battles over China and Mongolia in 1938 and 1939.
