FYI Nakajima supplied most of the fighters for the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force. The Ki-43 was the most common one, and it was generally similar to the Zero. They also made the Ki-44, which was a high performance interceptor, and the Ki-84, which was as good as anything in the Allied arsenal late in the war, even the P-51 Mustang. They had production problems due to aerial bombing and naval blockades, but these aircraft were all brilliantly engineered. Quite a heritage for Subaru!
