Nakajima J1N
The is a twin-engine aircraft used by the Japanese Imperial Navy during World War II and was used for reconnaissance, night fighter, and ''kamikaze'' missions. The first flight took place in May 1941. It was given the Allied reporting name "Irving", since the earlier reconnaissance version the J1N1-C, was mistaken for a fighter. Design and development In mid-1938 the Japanese Imperial Navy requested a twin-engine fighter designed to escort the principal bomber used at the time, Mitsubishi G3M "Nell". The operating range of the standard Navy fighter, the Mitsubishi A5M "Claude", was only 1,200 km (750 mi), insufficient compared with the 4,400 km (2,730 mi) of the G3M. Moreover, at the time, the potential of the "Zero", then still under development, remained to be evaluated, stressing the need for a long-range escort fighter, much as the Luftwaffe had done with the Messerschmitt Bf 110 ''Zerstörer'', introduced the year before. In March 1939, Mitsubishi and Na ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

His portrait appeared on the bank's notes and contributed to their wide appeal. In June 1865, it convert ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
