Mitsubishi 2MR1 Tobi
Mitsubishi 2MR1 Tobi reconnaissance biplane. Designed and built for an Imperial Japanese Army Air Service competition for a reconnaissance aircraft. Mitsubishi had high expectations for the new aeroplane, but during an official qualifying test flight by the Army at Tokot Ozawa, an undercarriage shock strut failed; the aircraft was badly damaged and eliminated from the competition. The Nakajima and Ishikawajima entries also failed, but the Kawasaki aircraft met the requirements and was accepted as the Kawasaki Army Type 88 Reconnaissance Aircraft. Date: 1927
