The Nakajima NC (officially designated as the Army Type 91 Fighter) was a single-engine monoplane fighter operated by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service during the 1930s. Designed as a braced parasol-wing aircraft featuring an all-metal fuselage construction with fabric-covered wings, the prototype conducted its maiden flight in 1928. Following extensive design modifications to enhance flight stability, it entered series production in 1931. The Type 91 served as the army's primary front-line fighter during the early stages of the Manchurian campaigns and remained in service until the mid-1930s, when it was reassigned to training duties. A total of over 400 aircraft were manufactured.
