IPMSUpdates Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 The Kokusai Ta-Go is an obscure late World War II aircraft designed by Captain Yoshiyuka Mizuyama of the Imperial Japanese Army as an inexpensive kamikaze aircraft to be used in the Allied invasion of Japan. The Tachikawa Aircraft Company wasn’t interested as they were already overwhelmed with their production requirements. Undeterred, Captain Yoshiyuka Mizuyama built the prototype with volunteers. The original armament was a single 500kg bomb fixed to the aircraft (it couldn’t be dropped and it was designed for a single operation). The aircraft was destroyed in a bombing raid. The Captain then approached the Kokusai Corporation who expressed interest, but wanted it cheaper and lighter.View the full review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
