Mitsubishi Ki-2

Military Aircraft

The Mitsubishi Ki-2, the Army Type 93 Twin-engine Light Bomber known to the Allies as Louise, was a light bomber built by Mitsubishi for the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service in the 1930s. It was a minimally redesigned version of the Junkers K 37 that Mitsubishi had bought and licensed in 1931, a low-wing cantilever monoplane with corrugated metal skin, twin fins and fixed landing gear, powered by two Nakajima Kotobuki radial engines. It first flew in May 1933. Despite its antiquated appearance it was used successfully in Manchukuo and North China early in the Second Sino-Japanese War, where fighter opposition was light, and later served as a trainer.
