Nakajima Kikka.

Nakajima Kikka. The Kikka first flew the same week that WWII ended and is noteworthy only as Japan's first jet. It is a scaled-down version of the Messerschmitt ME262 and is a good example of technology sharing between Hitler's Germany and the Japanese. The Japanese also manufactured a copy of the incomparable Fiesler FI 156 Storch STOL aircraft and the Messerschmitt ME-163 Komet rocket fighter.
