Fast maneuverable, fully protected and heavily armed, the NIKI Kawanishi Shiden (Violet Lightning) codenamed GEORGE, was the best Japanese naval fighter of the war. Almost as maneuverable as the Zero, it was much faster, carried four 20mm cannon, and did not fall apart or explode after one or two strikes. Courtesy Air Power magazine, Jan 1975 |
