One of the great unsung fighters of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force was Nakajima's Ki-43 Hayabusa (Peregrine Falcon). Codenamed 'Oscar' by the Allies, the aircraft was frequently mistaken for the Navy's A6M2 Zero by those encountering it in combat, to the extent that it was widely referred to by its adversaries as the 'Army 0'. Highly regarded in Japan, where it was much more widely recognised than the Zero, the Ki-43 was the only Japanese fighter from the Pacific War to see active service with other air forces, being supplied to both Thailand and Manchukuo by the Japanese, but also seeing use by France in Indochina, and by the air forces of Indonesia, the Republic of China, and North Korea, who pressed abandoned but airworthy airframes into service, some of which survived into the early 1950s.

The Junkers Ju 86 is one of those fascinating types developed in the 1930s by a Germany re-arming in secret, and was a twin-engine monoplane configured as both a medium bomber and ten-seat airliner. First flown in 1934 and introduced in 1936, it featured Jumo 205 diesel engines and a smooth stressed skin design. Although initially used by the Luftwaffe and trialled in the Spanish Civil War, it proved inferior to rivals like the He 111, becoming obsolete by 1939. Later high altitude variants extended its service life with the Luftwaffe, but its service, both civilian and military, with countries as diverse as Chile, Hungary, South Africa, and Sweden make up the bulk of its story.
