Entering service during the Sino-Japanese War, the Nakajima B5N
(code-named 'Kate') excelled and went on to achieve surprising and
dramatic successes in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It also
contributed to the sinking of the US aircraft carriers USS
Lexington at the Battle of the Coral Sea, USS Yorktown at the
Battle of Midway, and USS Hornet at the Battle of the Santa Cruz
Islands. Its replacement, the Nakajima B6N 'Jill', while a marked
improvement over its illustrious predecessor, was never able to
achieve its full potential in combat due to advances in Allied
aircraft, finding itself relegated to the dreaded Kamikaze strikes
in the latter part of the war. Using previously unpublished
photographs as well as colour illustrations, this book will cover
the history of the 'Kate' and 'Jill' torpedo/attack bombers,
including their design and development, as well as the combat highs
and lows of the Imperial Japanese Navy's premier torpedo-bombers.
