Japanese military aircraft designation systems
Japanese military aircraft, especially of the Imperial (pre-1945) period, are rather difficult to keep track of by their Japanese designations, primarily because multiple designation systems were in use by each armed service. This is what led to the Allies' use of codenames during World War II, and these codenames are still better known in English-language texts than the real Japanese names for the aircraft.
