Poznámka: Note: | 八八式侦察机/轻爆击机 - Armádní lehký bombardér typu 88. Lehký bombardovací letoun typ 88 byl jednomotorový jedeapůlplošník s celokovovou konstrukcí, přední část trupu byla kryta plechem a zbytek byl potažen plátnem. Jednalo se o nouzovou úpravu, která však vydržela ve službě až do samého začátku války. Více v historii. | 八八式侦察机/轻爆击机 - Army Type 88 Light Bomber By the late 1920s, only a small number of Mitsubishi Type 87 light bombers were in use, the Army still focusing most of its attention on reconnaissance aircraft. However, the need for a light bomber was evident, as these wood and fabric bombers had reached their limit of development. It was expected that they would be replaced by the all-metal sesquiplane light bomber built by the Army's Department of Supply at Tokorozawa but these did not perform as expected. Thus, the Army planned to use the newly-adopted Type 88-2 Reconnaissance Aircraft as an interim light bomber. Equipped with bomb racks beneath the fuselage and the strengthened lower wing, and with a bombsight, this aircraft served very well in its new role and was adopted by the Army as the Type 88 Light Bomber. The Type 88 light bomber was a single-engined biplane of all-metal construction with stressed metal skin on the forward fuselage. The rest of the fuselage being fabric covered.

The Type 88 light bomber was a single-engined biplane of all-metal construction with stressed metal skin on the forward fuselage. The rest of the fuselage being fabric covered. These light bombers served the Army well from 1930 to around 1938. Along with the Type 88 Reconnaissance Aircraft, they were very active in the Chinan, Manchurian and Shanghia Incidents, as well as in the early stage of the Sino-Japanese Conflict. This aircraft has earned a reputation being very slow, but excellent operational aircraft, even while being augmented by the newer Kawasaki Ki-3 or even Single-engine Light Bomber Type 93. |
