Historical Information

Kawasaki Ki-102, known by the Allied codename "Randy", was a Japanese heavy fighter and ground attack aircraft used by the Empire of Japan during the final phase of World War II (1944-1945). The Ki-102b variant was intended mainly for ground-attack missions and bomber interception. The aircraft entered limited service in 1944 and took part, among others, in the defense of the Japanese home islands against Allied air raids.

The I-Go was a pioneering guided bomb developed by Japan in 1944-1945 as a response to the increasing need for effective weaponry against Allied ships and fortifications. It was used in limited numbers and stands as a testament to the technological advancements of late-war Japanese aviation.
