 The Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien (Tony), an adaptable plane indeed.
If aircraft (and aircraft books) could be compared to PC's, the Kawasaki Ki-61 Tony could be considered a clone (using the same engine as the German Bf 109), and the final variant, the Ki-100 (taking a very different radial engine), a major upgrade.
This book is meant to be an upgrade to the earlier book with the same title and author, published in the early 1970's by Osprey. In this case it is a long overdue re-issue of a book that for many years was the virtualy the sole source of supply in both visual history of the plane and of its painting schemes, both of which this book has ample supply. Maybe Schiffer can be talked into re-publishing the whole Aircam line?
