I was limiting it to fighters.  The A6M and Ki-43 were second generation monoplane fighters for the Japanese. Their only predecessors as far as I know were the A5M and Ki-27.  Before those the Japanese used biplane fighters.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
