OOPS! NOT ON THE SHORT LIST
Surviving aircraft surrendered in Japan were scrapped. A few different types of aircraft were shipped back to the United States for test and evaluation, the Ki-51 "Sonia" was not among those tested.
Wanted to clear this up should have mentioned this in earlier comment...time to call it a day, until next time.
