The Mitsubishi Ki-21 is a Japanese medium-wing, classic-tail, all-metal twin-engine bomber of the Second World War, known by the Allied code name Jane or Sally. The prototype flew on 18 December 1936 and entered service in 1938. The aircraft was created as a result of an order from the Japanese Air Force for a bomber aircraft adapted for operations in large maritime areas. The prototype "Type 93" first flew in December 1936. In the first serial version, the aircraft was designated Ki-21 (Type 97) Model 1, and then Ki-21 Model 2. It was a modification of the first series. The first combat use of the aircraft was in China during the Sino-Japanese War (1937-1940). Later, the aircraft were used in the Pacific War in air operations and strikes against Hong Kong, the Philippines, Burma and the Dutch East Indies. In 1943, they made a massive raid on Calcutta. In the first phase of the war, Ki-21s operated from numerous bases in Formosa, Okinawa and the Japanese islands, controlling the East China Sea and much of the open Pacific. At the end of the war, as a result of attacks by American aviation, the Ki-21 squadron suffered huge losses.
