the six Ki-20's serve in China or were they just used as transports.

- The Ki-20's
were so super-secret that they were never committed to combat and were only
revealed to the Japanese public after they were obsolete. They never flew
either in China or as transports AFAIK, only in test excercises, probably over Karafutu
(Sakhalin).

- Alex, none
of the Ki20s ever served operationally in China. I'm not sure the even served
as transports. IIRC, they only ever served in an 'experimental'/'test' bomber
squadron.

- Please go to
the "SEARCH" of this board and look for any messages containing the
key word "Ki-20". You will find some translations regarding this
plane, that I have no idea why they are not saved in the
"translations" section...
