A Japanese Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien fighter captured by American forces in New Guinea, 1943.Because the Ki-61 looked so different to other Japanese aircraft it was initially thought to be either Italian or German. It was powered by a license-built version of the German Daimler-Benz engine, an example of which had been shipped to Japan from Germany on a submarine. Credit : Doug
