User:Hungrydog55/sandbox/military/pacificfront/1940-00 List of Jap aircraft

This is a list of aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Army and Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II.

For all the resources poured into capital ship acquisition by the combatant nations, battleships only faced each other in combat on three occasions in World War II: off Greenland during the pursuit of the Bismarck in May 1941; on the 2nd Night of the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal in October 1942; and in Surigao Strait in the Philippines in October 1944.

Trainers
Trainer aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II were frequently modified from operational aircraft and differentiated by the suffix letter "K". Japanese training aircraft were red-orange where combat aircraft would have been camouflaged.

Transports
A total of 85611 aircraft were produced by Japan in WW2.
