Yup, they are Ki-44s.They can be somewhat tricky to identify depending on the picture.
Here is another one:
Now. It is obvious what aircraft this is, but I'm asking for the full designation, including the correct variant and model number.

General Aircraft Co GAL56 Tailless Glider, which I believe crashed at Alton Hants killing the pilot
you know what ?

and that thought just vanished when i was introduced to this forum and now sir i find YOU
@Swinds what an amazing person
can i ask you where did you get your knowledge of aviation from ?
i believe that i have a lot to learn about the ww2 aviation in particular
kindly if there is any book out there please do refer it for me
and yes that's a correct answer

To be honest I used the serial number on the tail of the plane and found an articular on it's crashing, not far from were I now sit
ZE501 is the Glider I solo'ed in back when I was young.
Nope, not quite.
doh! no cigar....
I am away from my books but I am sure I have seen that photo before. A6M5 had a different mount for the fuel tank so that would make it a A6M3??
Yup, A6M3s, hahaha. I won't torture you for the model. They are A6M3 Model 32s, you can tell by the clipped wings.

I was an Air Cadet, Air Training Corps from 13 to 21. I have a large collection of Aircraft books mainly WW2, The concise guide to Axis aircraft was my first book and have had these since I was very young. I spent many many many hours reading about these aircraft and the pilots that flew them.
Don't get me started on the aircraft in HoI4..
That's how I new about the P400 above. not the joke about a P40 with a Zero in it't tail

The British Fighter Since 1912 (Putnam's British aircraft) has this Aircraft after the Hurricane and the Spitfire (merlin)
Miles made it
Really fun with the air planes, but google image search kind of takes the skill out of it.

lol yea but nice picture though
F.9/37 yes?
Now I'm curious as to what you think it seems, as my initial thought - pretty much correctly as it turned out - was that it was a Reaper with different engines though I had to wiki to get the exact name though - and there the pic was at the top of the page. Of course, that's mainly cos I was looking up the Reaper a few weeks ago after reading an althist story where it entered service so had it's appearance stuck in my head
Now this is probably quite an easy one for those that know their aircraft (hell, I even left the nose art on there), but my god what a plane:

Yes the Gloster F9/37 again from British Fighters since 1912, Putnam aviation books, Manson
XP47J
I always liked the follow up, the XP-72

Yeah, the prototypes the Americans came up with towards the end of the war were remarkable planes. 500mph in level flight for a propeller driven fighter is ridiculous (although in the case of the 47J it wasn't just the propeller - the exhaust gave around 400lbs of jet thrust!). It's a pity aircraft like the Mustang in particular were "good enough", so even though things like the these were better, there wasn't a drive to actually put them into production, particularly with jets just around the corner.
My Fav British piston engined aircraft, after the Spitfire.... Also failed the "good enough" question.
PS Paradox, change the 1945 British fighter to the Supermarine Spitfire 21 or the Hawker Fury please
