Comments:
The first Japanese design to mount a twin-row radial engine as well as having an internal bomb bay, flaps and constant-speed propelllor, the Ki-30 was an integral part of the Japanese Army's modernization program in 1935. Available in sufficient numbers, the type played a large part of the Sino-Japanese war. The Ki-30 supported the advance into the Philipines in 1942 but were subsequently withdrawn from front-line service.
