One of four Ki-115 suicide attack aircraft captured at Nakajima's No. 1 Plant, Ota, Gamma Prefecture at the end of WWII. Over 100 were built from wood and thin steel to save resources and were intended to be dropped from bombers. Allocated FE-156 by the US authorities, changed to T2-156 and taken into storage, soon being transferred to the NASM facility at Silver Hill, MD.
