WARS END:
Tachikawa Aircraft Manufacturing Company Ltd.
was owned and operated by the Imperial Army
it also had a Center for Research & Development
it created its own designs and tested its aircraft
Before WWII and during the war, both the Army
and Navy never worked together each had its own aircraft programs.
OUT OF BUSINESS:
At the end of WWII Japan's Aviation Industry was dismantled by the Allies. The USAAF tested
captured aircraft a few were shipped back to the USA and the UK. Surviving planes were scrapped
aircraft plants were converted to produce civilian
goods. The Japanese were able to destroy most of their research data, blue prints, jigs and other aircraft assemblies.
By 1950 the ban on aircraft production was lifted, Tachikawa built training planes, but failed to win any contracts. The company continued to build components and sub-assemblies and non-aviation related products. Today, Tachikawa is now known as Tachuiti Kigyo producing consumer goods, electronics and automotive parts.
After WWII many of the designers, engineers, technicians and other specialist were later employed by Toyota, Nissan and other Japanese
industries...
