3 in 1

A Type 97 Fighter or Nakajima Ki-27 "Nate", a Type 97 Command Reconnaissance or Mitsubishi Ki-15-I "Babs" and a Type 98 Direct Co-operation/Reconnaissance or Tachikawa Ki-36 "Ida" in this photo from a vintage magazine, demonstrating the differences in the design philosophy of the three major IJAAF aircraft producing companies visible in the cowling shapes.

    Wonderful photo; what is the date of the magazine?
    Must be pre-Pacific War, judgsing by the paint schemes of the aircraft.
