Krusty,

It sounds like you are describing thje Ki-46, not the Ki-45.  The Ki-45 was designed as a fighter from the start.  The Ki-46 was a recon aircraft that latter was pressed into service as a fighter.


Odee,

There was no greater danger of fire from the wooden construction.  I have a photo of a Mossie that was covered in burning fuel from the Me410 that it shot down.  The Mossie returned home with some damage.  It was not kindling.

I know it was in Hawks list, but for a stat to have validity it has to have a minimum quantity in the sample for it to be accurate. Lets say plane xxx is added and the same night Eskimo vulches the same guy in plane zzz 50 times flying plane xxx.  The next day the stats will show that plane xxx killed plane zzz 50 times with no deaths, but its not a valid sample. All I was saying is both the Niki and P-38 had not been in use long enough to get any meaningful data from the stats.
