During the First Shanghai Incident of 1932 the 3rd Independent Chutai, part of the 1st Hiko Rentai based in Kakamigahara, was assigned to Kunda Airfield in Shanghai in early February 1932, when this video was taken.
Some beautiful views of the Type Otsu-1 Reconnaissance right out of their shipping crates and then getting assembled at the airfield. Note also the Army Ko-4 Fighters (Nieuport 29C1).
Some model manufacturers have suggested that these Japanese Army aircraft types were in overall NMF. In reality, according to official IJAAF regulations they were finished in the Army version of hairyokushoku.
Special thanks to Yokokawa Yuichi for helping identify the unit.
