Historical Background

• The Type 74-II (Ki-74 Otsu Kai) was a late-WWII high-speed strategic bomber concept developed for the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service. Derived from German advanced flying-wing technology, this tailless jet bomber was designed for long-range high-altitude strike missions. Planned to participate in the Saipan counter-landing operation to attack enemy airfields and heavy bombers, only a small number of prototypes were built before the end of the war. As a fantasy/what-if late-war Japanese bomber design, it is a highly sought-after subject for fans of WWII experimental aircraft and alternate history aviation models.
