To see our other original vintage warbird aeroplane posters, photographs and paintings, scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this Seller" 1943 MacArthur name "Dave" Nakajima "Type 95" - World War II Japanese reconnaissance fighter plane Original aeroplane recognition poster (1943) 63x47cm A particularly unusual style of aeroplane identification poster, owing to the very arty images. Most such posters rely on very plain silhouettes, this series - and we have many in this series - have a much more arty approach to the task with shading and an interesting angle view. The Nakajima Type 95 was a ship-borne, catapult-launched, reconnaissance seaplane. It was a single-engine, two-seat biplane with a central main-float and underwing outriggers. During the Pacific War, it was known to the Allies by the code name "Dave". The Dave was developed as a replacement for the same company's earlier E4N aircraft. It was first flown in March 1934. A total of 755 Daves were built by Nakajima and Kawanishi, with production continuing until 1940. It was subsequently shipped aboard all the capital ships then in service (sixteen cruisers and five seaplane tenders). It was used successfully in the Second Sino-Japanese War not only for reconnaissance, but also for dive-bombing and artillery spotting. Some aircraft remained in service with the fleet at the outbreak of the Pacific War, but they were soon replaced by more modern aircraft such as the Aichi E13A and the Mitsubishi F1M, with the Dave being reassigned to second-line duties.
