The Republic P-43 Lancer was an American single-engine, all-metal fighter aircraft. While it was quickly surpassed by newer fighters, its excellent high-altitude performance made it an ideal platform for photo-reconnaissance. Many P-43s were converted into dedicated scout planes (often designated as P-43B, C, or D) by adding camera ports in the rear fuselage. These aircraft were vital to the RAAF and Chinese Air Force, conducting long-range missions over Japanese-held territory where their high ceiling kept them safe from interception.
