Nakajima Ki 27 "Nate"
Initially known as "Abdul" in the China-Burma-India Theater. This little fighter paved the way for more faster and reliable fighters.
It was OK speed wise but it was pretty much an antique. And an antique going up against much faster and more reliable fighters won't live long.
