While several pics focus on the Japanese Ki-45, other types of various countries are shown - possibly as a comparison.


Ki-45 Obliquely upward firing 20mm cannon are seen just behind the cockpit. White band around the "meatball" indicates defense of the homeland near the war's end.

No. 466 Squadron RAAF was a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) bomber squadron during World War II. Formed in the United Kingdom in late 1942, the squadron undertook combat operations in Europe until the end of the war, flying heavy bomber aircraft. Following the conclusion of hostilities with Germany, the squadron began retraining to undertake operations in the Pacific against the Japanese, but the war came to an end before it left the UK. In late 1945, the squadron was disbanded.
