pampa14 Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 The link below provides a rare photo of a Me-109 used by Japan, with the mark of the Rising Sun emblazoned on the fuselage. Does anyone know if Japan used German fighters in combat? The link also features a selection of photos unimaginable for the High Command of the Luftwaffe at the beginning of WW2, see their powerful Me-109 and Fw-190 fighters captured and tested with allied markings. To view all photos, visit the link below: http://aviacaoemfloripa.blogspot.com.br/2011/02/uma-visao-incomum-para-luftwaffe.html Cheers.
Fer_Fer Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 No, the IJAAF never used the BF109 in combat. A single 109 was shipped to Japan by Submarine (most likely one of the Italian long range subs) where it was tested, however the Japanese interest was mainly focussed on the engine, which would later on power the ki 61 and D4Y.
