B5N Kate
(http://files.netwings.org/files/avhistory/Bombers/Japan/1JA_B5N-2.zip)
|
| 2.80.57 MS Visual repainted by Rick "Smashing Time" Spork as the aircraft flown by Commander Mitsuo Fuchida, Strike Force Leader, First Wave level-bomber force from the heavy carrier AKAGI. B5Ns played the main role in sinking the carrier Lexington at Coral Sea, Yorktown at Midway, and Hornet at the Battle of Santa Cruz in October 1942. Along with the destruction of the carrier Wasp by a Japanese submarine during the Guadalcanal campaign these were the major blows to the American carrier forces in the early phase of the Pacific War. These exploits supplemented the Kates success in the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7 1941, in which 40 B5N2s armed with torpedoes - and 103 B5N2s armed with bombs - inflicted enormous damage on the US Battle Fleet.

G4M2 Betty
(http://files.netwings.org/files/avhistory/Bombers/Japan/1JA_G4M2.zip)
|
| 2.80.55 MS Visual Skin by Tomas "WildBat" Oszlar. The G4M2 was the main heavy bomber of the Japanese Navy during World War II. Its long range was achieved by depriving the aircraft of armor while providing it with huge non-selfsealing fuel tanks in the wings. The Betty was extremely vulnerable, tending to go up in flames when hit. This led to its receiving the nicknames "One-Shot Lighter" and "Flying Cigar".

A7M2
(http://files.netwings.org/files/avhistory/fighters/Japan/1JA_A7M2.zip)
|
| 2.80.53 FSDS The Mitsubishi A7M Reppu (Hurricane) single-seat carrier-based fighter was intended by the famous aircraft designer Jiro Horikoshi to be the successor to the A6M Zero-sen fighter. Even as early as 1940, Jiro Horikoshi was fully aware that he had better start working on the successor to his fabulous Zero fighter. He envisaged an aircraft similar in overall configuration to the Zero but utilizing the much more powerful Mitsubishi NK9A eighteen-cylinder air-cooled radial engine, which was then under development. A 17-Shi specification for the aircraft was issued by the Japanese Navy on July 6, 1942. A maximum speed of 379 mph at 19,685 feet was called for, and the maneuverability was to be at least equal to that of the A6M3 Model 32.

J7W1
(http://files.netwings.org/files/avhistory/fighters/Japan/1JA_J7W1.zip)
|
| 2.80.57 FSDS The strikingly different J7W1 was one of only three "canard" configuration fighter airplanes to be flown during the period 1939-45, the other two being the Italian SAI SS-4 and the American Curtiss XP-55 Ascender. But unlike the other two, the Shinden (Magnificent Lightning) was accepted for production-right off the drawing board, before any prototypes had taken wing. Both Kyushu and Nakajima were tooling up for producing the J7W1, and it was hoped that a monthly production rate of up to 150 fighters would be attained. No less than 1,086 Shindens were on order for the 1946-47 fiscal year.
