Operational History
The 1MF entered service with the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1923, replacing the Gloster Sparrowhawk. A 1MF aircraft became the first aircraft to take-off from and land on Japan's new aircraft carrier Hōshō on 28 February 1923. The 1MF series proved a tough and reliable aircraft, operating from the carriers Akagi and Kaga - as well as from Hōshō - when they entered service in 1927 and 1928 respectively. It continued in service until 1930, being replaced by the Nakajima A1N.
