<p>This magnificent reproduction represents an Otsu-1 reconnaissance biplane. The Otsu-1 was a license built version of the French Salmson 2.A2 and was produced in Japan by Kawasaki. Despite a total production of 3,200 no complete example of the Salmson 2 design exists, however the forward fuselage of a single Otsu-1 does survive and is on display alongside this replica.
