Correct MMB

I thought there would be an answer suggesting it was the Manhattan project, but it was the weapon which delivered it!

Okay

here we go

What was the last of Nakajima's fighters that was considered one of the best preforming aircraft from any country?

The plane was used by the Imperial Japanese Army

Dean · January 19th, 2007

I did not know that Nakajima preformed airecraft...

Anyhow here is the answer.

The Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate (疾風, "Gale") was a single-seat fighter used by the Japanese Imperial Army in World War II. It was the last in Nakajima's line of classic fighters and considered one of the best-performing craft from any country. The Allied codename was "Frank"; the Army designation was "Type 4 Fighter" (四式戦闘機).

The Ki-84 first flew in March 1943. While the design was solid, a shortage of fuel and construction materials, poor production quality, and lack of skilled pilots kept it from reaching its potential. After the war a captured example was tested by the U.S. Army using high-octane fuel and achieved a speed of 690 km/h. A total of 3,449 were produced.

Read the rules on the first page of this thread, AlphaHound. You will have to answer the last question right in order to gain the right to ask a question.

I do indeed. I've been gone for a while, and it's nice to be back. Here is a rather obscure one that will have you scratching your heads for about 30 seconds. Name the regiment from Montreal that took part in the Normandy invasion that still exists today.
