- Later, when the Japan Air Self-Defense Force was established in 1954, the S-55 was adopted as a rescue aircraft and as a multi-purpose aircraft by each branch of the Self-Defense Forces. As a result, a total of 72 aircraft were produced under license by 1962, of which 68 were delivered to each branch of the Self-Defense Forces and 4 were sold to the private sector, including All Nippon Airways.
