Description
Another Axis aircraft brought to the USA at the end of WWII for technical study and evaluation.
By 1945, this Kawanishi N1K2-Ja was the most advanced fighter available to the Japanese. It was designed to counter the high flying B-29 bombers.
It was also called the Shiden Kai (Japanese for "Violet Lightning-Improved") and was called the "George" by the Allies.
This aircraft is one of only three surviving restored examples in the world.
I have left an extremely faint copy of the Museum background to provide minimal context for this image. Zooming helps.

The post work is superb...the very faint traces of the museum add to the spectacular lines of the aircraft itself. It looks predatory, like some really weird deep-sea fish (the kind with jaws and teeth that comprise 70% of their bodies) only it isn't a deep sea fish. I love the colors. They really stand out against the near black. In short, this is yet another fantastic photograph.

great work Bill!

Magnificent lighting effects in another elegant presentation of your military aircraft of the past, Bill! The Japanese really went in for big conical nose spinners. I thought it was a Mitsubishi Zero at first. Almost looks like a P-47 Thunderbolt from here.
