The Navy Carrier Torpedo Bomber Tenzan or Nakajima B6N, was
codenamed Jill by the Allies. It was the replacement of the famous
Nakajima B5N (Kate) torpedo bomber and although more B6N's were
built than B5N's, the plane never achieved the spectacular success
of its predecessor. It entered service in the second half of 1943
but wouldn't be used on a large scale until June, 1944 during the
air and sea battles in the Philippine Sea for the Mariana Islands.
Later it would be used in Taiwan, the Philippines, Iwo Jima and
Okinawa and for Kamikaze attacks. The crushing air superiority of
the Allies and the loss of nearly all the Japanese aircraft
carriers and their trained pilots led to many Tenzans being lost,
while never having had a chance to prove their worth. In spite of
the fact that the Tenzan never achieved any real successes, it was
undoubtedly one of the best carrier based torpedo bombers of WWII.
