Beechcraft Bonanza. I always liked the look of the "V" tail on those. Were they tricky to fly, compared to conventional tail?

They fly just like any other similar airplane only faster. May "wag their tail" a little in turbulence. easily overcome by holding pressure on one of the rudder pedals. They stall quite a bit more dramatically than a Cessna.

This was my favorite. It's not sleek, but was very menacing .....

It was nice of Japan to put a target on the sides of their aircraft!

Yeah, nobody else would have ever thought to do that.

On the plus side for Japan, this interceptor at 470 mph. would have fulfilled its role to go after American bombers. On the minus side, they didn't get it into production before the war ended.
