75mm Anti-Aircraft Platoon
(JP551)
Allied intelligence originally assumed that Japan’s Type 88 75mm anti-aircraft gun was a copy of the German 8.8cm Flak 36/37 gun, but it was instead their own design incorporating features from many foreign designs including the British Vickers QF 3” gun.
Designed as a medium anti-aircraft gun, the Type 88 was fielded in large numbers in most theatres of the war. The Japanese quickly discovered that the Type 88 was an extremely effective anti-tank weapon. This anti-tank capability was vital in the latter stages of the war as few Japanese guns could successfully engage the M4 Sherman tank, and the Japanese issued specific armour piercing rounds to units on Iwo Jima and Okinawa which were used to good effect.
