Japanese Army Type 98 “OTU” Magnetic Compass

This is my example of the Japanese Army Type 98 “Otu” Magnetic Compass produced by Tokyo Koku Keiki. This compass type was mostly used in twin-engine IJAAF bombers including the Ki-67 Hiryū 飛龍 (Flying Dragon) “Peggy”, Ki-49 Donryu 呑龍 (Storm Dragon) “Helen”, Ki-48 Shiki-Souhatu-Keibaku 九九式雙發輕爆擊機 (Sokei) “Lily” and more.
