The Kawasaki Ki-10 was the last biplane
fighter used by the Imperial Japanese Army,
entering service in 1935. The army
designation was 'Type 95 Fighter' and was
named "Perry" by the Allies during WW2.
The aircraft was principally used by the
Army Air Force. It was deployed in
Manchuria and the Chinese war campaigns
and against Russian-Mongol forces in the
Nomonhan Incident.
At the beginning of the Pacific War it was
retired to training and secondary missions,
but later returned to front-line service,
performing short-range patrol and
reconnaissance missions in Japan proper
and mainland China in January-February,
1942.
