Mitsubishi Ki-67 Peggy: A Late Entree into the Heavy Bomber Ranks of World War II The Mitsubishi Ki-67 Peggy, a Japanese Army heavy bomber, is depicted in this evocative photograph. First flown in December 1942, this aircraft came too late to significantly alter the outcome of the Second World War. With the war's tides turning against the Axis powers, the Ki-67 was an attempt by the Japanese military to bolster its aerial capabilities. The Ki-67 Peggy was a formidable machine, boasting a maximum takeoff weight of 17,500 kg and a top speed of 435 km/h. Its armament consisted of three 12.7mm machine guns and a 7.92mm machine gun, making it a formidable force in the skies. However, its late entry into the conflict meant it saw limited combat action. Despite its late arrival, the Ki-67 Peggy holds an important place in aviation history. Its sleek design and advanced features, such as a retractable landing gear and a pressurized cabin, were ahead of their time. The aircraft also featured a unique tricycle undercarriage, which was a departure from the conventional tail-dragger configuration commonly used by Japanese bombers during the war. The Ki-67 Peggy's impact on the war was minimal, but its legacy lives on. Today, it is a reminder of the technological advancements made during this period and the relentless pursuit of innovation in the face of adversity. This photograph captures the essence of the Ki-67 Peggy, a testament to the ingenuity and determination of its designers and the Japanese military during World War II.
