There are three Koken-ki clips on YouTube.
Uploaded by the son of Yamamoto Mineo, one of the key members of the Koken Project. Visit his site: HERE
There is also the brilliant artwork by artist Koike Sigeo featured in this very informative site: HERE & HERE.

And one more vintage ad featuring the Koken-ki.
(Nitto Black Tea)
A pure domestic product shining all over the world! The giant eagle and Nitto black tea are the symbols of the remarkable progress of Japan.
New product, available from: Mitsui Busan KK, Nitto Takushoku Norin KK.
The tea is still available today, here.
In 1939 a 12 sen stamp was released commemorating the flight.

Koike-san's artwork captured the subject very well, I always enjoy seeing his work.
Interesting to see the aircraft in flight.
