SEAPLANE FIGHTER
Aircraft assigned to Sasebo Kokutai. First Japanese marking on tail is for SA Sasebo w/last numbers 134.
Photo taken over Japan, September 1944.
DEFENDING THE EMPIRE:
N1K1's were even used to intercept USAAF B-29's making raids over the Empire
However, aircraft had little success against attacking the higher flying B-29's.
