The aircraft's layout was finalized in autumn of 1940 with its first flight originally expected in late 1941, but this was canceled with the start of <a href="/wiki/Pacific_War" title="Pacific War">war against the United States</a> and consequent reallocation of priorities.

The easiest route was that taken by the Italians, following the <a href="/wiki/Great_circle" title="Great circle">great circle</a> route, but General <a href="/wiki/Hideki_Tojo" title="Hideki Tojo">Tojo</a> opposed this because it implied a violation of <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">Soviet</a> airspace. Japan was not at war with the Soviets and Tojo wished to avoid either provoking them or asking their permission. Development work was restarted on the A-26/Ki-77 project, and the first of two prototypes flew on 18 November 1942. The prototype suffered from persistent oil cooling problems which required many changes before being solved, delaying further flights into July 1943; while working on these engineering issues, Tachikawa built a second aircraft. </p><p>Colonel Saigo considered the so-named "Seiko" (Success) mission absurd and suicidal, but the <a href="/wiki/Aircrew" title="Aircrew">crew</a> was aware of the hazards of the mission; they even had a personal dose of poison to kill themselves if forced down in enemy territory. The pilot was Juukou Nagatomo, the co-pilot was Hajime Kawasaki, <a href="/wiki/Kenji_Tsukagoshi" title="Kenji Tsukagoshi">Kenji Tsukagoshi</a> and Noriyoshi Nagata were flight engineers, and Motohiko Kawashima was the radio operator. Three <a href="/wiki/Imperial_Japanese_Army" title="Imperial Japanese Army">Army</a> officers were also carried as passengers, two of whom were <a href="/wiki/Military_attach%C3%A9" title="Military attaché">military attachés</a>. They departed Japan on 30 June 1943 for Singapore, where the <a href="/wiki/Runway" title="Runway">airstrip</a> had to be lengthened by 1,000 meters to assure a safe takeoff. Finally, the aircraft took off at 7:10 on 7 July 1943 with eight tons of fuel, ample to reach Europe. </p><p>Their intended destination was the German airfield at <a href="/wiki/Crimea" title="Crimea">Sarabus</a> (now <a href="/wiki/Hvardiiske,_Simferopol_Raion" title="Hvardiiske, Simferopol Raion">Hvardiiske</a>, <a href="/wiki/Crimea" title="Crimea">Crimea</a>, <span class="geo-inline"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1156832818">.mw-parser-output .geo-default,.mw-parser-output .geo-dms,.mw-parser-output .geo-dec{display:inline}.mw-parser-output .geo-nondefault,.mw-parser-output .geo-multi-punct,.mw-parser-output .geo-inline-hidden{display:none}.mw-parser-output .longitude,.mw-parser-output .latitude{white-space:nowrap}</style><span class="plainlinks nourlexpansion"><a class="external text" href="https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Tachikawa_Ki-77&params=45.118236_N_33.976564_E_"><span class="geo-nondefault"><span class="geo-dms" title="Maps, aerial photos, and other data for this location"><span class="latitude">45°07′06″N</span> <span class="longitude">33°58′36″E</span></span></span><span class="geo-multi-punct"> / </span><span class="geo-default"><span class="geo-dec" title="Maps, aerial photos, and other data for this location">45.118236°N 33.976564°E</span><span style="display:none"> / <span class="geo">45.118236; 33.976564</span></span></span></a></span></span>.) but they were to <a href="/wiki/List_of_missing_aircraft" title="List of missing aircraft">disappear over the Indian Ocean</a>.

The Ki-77 landed with 800 liters remaining in the tanks of the 12,200 L (2,700 imp gal; 3,200 US gal) it began with, so the maximum endurance was around 18,000 km (11,000 mi).
