The Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate, Army Type 4 Fighter and known to the Allies as Frank, was a single-seat fighter flown by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service in the last two years of the Second World War. Development started in early 1942 with an order for an all-purpose long-range fighter able to match the best Western types, and the first prototype flew in April 1943. It combined high speed, good maneuverability, armour, self-sealing tanks and a heavy cannon armament, and is generally regarded as the best Japanese fighter built in large numbers. Its Homare engine and landing gear demanded careful maintenance, and wartime production quality fell as the conflict went on. A total of 3,514 were built.
