Photo 6. View of a Nakajima Hayate (Gale) Ki-84 "Frank" fighter airplane at Yokosuka Naval Air Depot, 1945. The Ki-84 Type 4 Hayate (Gale) was "the most outstanding Jap Army Fighter and far ahead of the Oscar, Tony and Tojo...potentially the most dangerous Japanese army fighter plane," according to a mid-1945 U.S. AAF evaluation. The Frank was one of the most formidable Japanese aircraft of the war, being able to outclimb and outmanueuver both the U.S. P-47N Thunderbolt and the P-51H Mustang fighters. It also saw service as a fighter bomber. This aircraft is one of the first three prototypes built.	Photo 7. A closer view of the prototype Nakajima Hayate at Yokosuka Naval Air Depot.	Photo 8.
