The Ki-21, also designated Army Type 97 Heavy Bomber, was designed for long-range bombing missions, including over Soviet territory from Japanese bases in Manchuria. Series production began in 1938, the same year as its combat debut. It was a twin-engine all-metal monoplane with a crew of six and excellent aerodynamics; the Allies gave it the code name “Sally”.
The Ki-21-Ib was the second production variant, with increased machine gun armament including a tail position and partially protected fuel tanks. The bombers were built by two companies, Nakajima and Mitsubishi.
