| JAAF 11th Sentai |
Aircraft History Built by Nakajima Hikoki K.K. At the factory, painted with dark green upper surfaces and gray lower surfaces. Delivered to the Japanese Army Air Force (JAAF) as Type 4 Fighter Hayate / Ki-84-I Ko (Frank) manufacture number unknown (four digits). Wartime History Assigned to the 11th Hiko Sentai (11th Flying Regiment). This Frank operated from Clark Field. By January 1945 abandoned at Clark Field. On January 30, 1945 captured by the U.S. Army at Clark Field. Afterwards, evaluated by the Allied Technical Intelligence Unit (ATIU) and repaired to flying status for flight testing. This Frank was stripped to bare aluminum finish with a black upper cowling and U.S. star and bar insignia on the wings and fuselage. Tail code S10 with "Allied Technical Intelligence Unit" with a red and white rudder outlined in red. Later, the front edge of the cowling was painted red and the cowling bare aluminum. This Frank was likely flight tested twice by ATIU before it crashed or crash landed. Afterwards, likely used for spare parts. Ultimate fate unknown likely scrapped or otherwise disappeared.
