Japanese Army Navy

I am surprised no-one mentioned the Ki-100 (Dinah) - used by both
services although in small numbers, and also the Ki-49 Hiryu (Peggy),
used by both. Unless my memory is hideously deformed....

The Ki.100 was NOT the "Dinah" - the "Dinah" was the Ki.46 and the
Ki.100 never received an allied code name although the Ki.100 was
a radial-engined development of the Ki.61 "Tony"

Neither the Ki.46, the Ki.61, or the Ki.100 was ever operated by
IJNAF units however. They were all IJAAF aircraft.

The Ki.49 had the allied code name "Helen". And was used exclusively
by IJAAF units.

The "Peggy" was the Ki.67 which -was- used in small numbers under
the designation "Yakakuhi" by the IJNAF. So far as I can tell,
all the aircraft operated by the IJNAF were transfers from the IJAAF
and none were purpose-built for the IJNAF

Cheers and all,

It is

The Ki-100 was a Ki-61-II with a 1500 hp Mitsubishi Ha-112-II
radial engine and was definitely an army aircraft

The Ki-46 Dinah was also an army aircraft as was the
Ki-49 Helen

The Ki-67 Peggy was designed for the Japanese air force
but was used by the IJN albeit in small numbers, first being
used by them in the attacks against the US 3rd fleet off
Formosa in late 1944.
