	Mitsubishi G4M - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Near the end of the war it was used as a kamikaze platform, and was the carrier aircraft for the Ohka kamikaze aircraft.
		The Betty were famous for being part of the sinking of Prince of Wales and Repulse with the older Japanese bomber the Mitsubishi G3M "Nells." The Prince of Wales and the Repulse are the first two battleships ever to be sunk exclusively by air attack while at sea during war.
		Probably the best-known incident involving a G4M during the war was the interception of the aircraft carrying IJN Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto by American P-38 Lightnings on April 18, 1943.

	Mitsubishi G3M 'Nell' (David Llewellyn James)
		It was succeeded by the Mitsubishi G4M - allied codename 'Betty'.
		Mitsubishi G3Mss and G4Ms achieved their most spectacular operational success on 10 December 1941, when off the coast of Malaya they sank - with torpedoes - the British battleship 'Prince of Wales' and battlecruiser 'Repulse'.

	Mitsubishi G4M - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Mitsubishi G4M (一式陸上攻撃機:Type 1 land-based attack aircraft; Allied reporting name Betty) was a twin-engined, land-based bomber aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Navy in World War II.
		When used for middle to high altitude bombing against a stationary target like a supply depot or an airfield, it was another matter entirely using its long range and high speed, it would appear from any direction and gone before fighters can intercept them.
		Probably the best-known G4M during the war was the aircraft carrying IJN Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, which was shot down by American P-38 Lightnings on April 17, 1943.

	YWB - JP Aircraft
		At that time, the requirements were unprecedented for a twin-engine, land-based attack bomber: flying at a top speed of 398 kph (247 mph) and an altitude of 3,000 m (9,845 ft), the new bomber had to fly a distance of 4,722 km (2,933 miles) without a torpedo or equivalent weight in bombs.
		To meet the requirements, a Mitsubishi design team led by Kiro Honjo crafted an airplane called the G4M with fuel tanks in the wings that were not resistant to explosion when punctured during combat.
		Mitsubishi incorporated this same design feature in the Zero, for the same reasons and with the same results.

	G4M 'Betty', Mitsubishi (Japan)
		The G4M was the result of an Imperial Japanese Navy specification for a long range land based bomber in 1937.
		This called for a bomber that could carry a heavy torpedo or bomb load over 3,000 miles (4800km), as even at this early stage the Japanese recognised the vast distances that they would have to fight over if they were to realise their Imperial ambitions.
		The first prototype flew in 1939 and much time was wasted when Mitsubishi were ordered to convert it for escort duties with many guns and and a crew of ten.

	Japanese Mitsubishi G4M Betty Medium Bomber
		The G4M Medium Bomber (code named Betty by allied forces) was designed in 1939 for the Imperial Navy and went into production in 1941.
		Mitsubishi argued that the aircraft should be a four engine design but the Navy insisted on a twin engine design and long range.
		The G4M1 series was a twin engine design using two Mitsubishi 14 cylinder twin row Kasei-11 air cooled engines developing 1530 HP, giving the aircraft a maximum speed of 265 mph.

	Mitsubishi G4M Betty (David Llewellyn James)
		An attack on the US transports by 26 Betties was to demonstrate to Allies and Japanese alike the vulnerability of the G4M to anti-aircraft fire.
		The G4M had been designed to meet a very demanding Navy specification of 1938.
		Mitsubishi repeatedly advised the Navy that a four-engined design would be preferable, but the Navy insisted on the restriction to two engines.

		The Mitsubishi G3M (九六式陸上攻撃機:Type 96 land-based attack aircraft; Allied reporting name Nell) was a Japanese bomber aircraft used during World War Two, mostly against the Chinese.
		The G3M was famous for being part of the Sinking of Prince of Wales and Repulse with the more advanced Mitsubishi G4M "Betty", on 10 December 1941, upon United States entry into World War Two.
		The Prince of Wales and the Repulse are the first two battleships ships ever to be sunk exclusively by air attack while at sea during war.

		Mitsubishi built 2,446 G4M2 (all variants) in total.

		The Navy's requirement for a 3700km range with full bombload could only be achieved by designing the entire wing as a 5000l integral fuel tank and keeping the structure very light, without any armour.
		Hence the G4M became known as the 'one-shot lighter' to allied fighter pilots.
		It became notorious late in the war as the carrier aircraft for the MXY-7 Ohka suicide aircraft.

	Stof's "Betty" Page
		The Mitsubishi G4M, nicknamed "Betty" by the Allied Intelligence Service, was the first heavy bomber in use in the Imperial Japanese Navy.
		Over Guadalcanal in 1942, the G4M earned the nickname "Hamaki" (flying cigar), because it often started burning as soon as it was hit by enemy fire.
		One of the last missions of the G4M was the most historically important: a G4M was used as a transport for the Japanese delegation in charge of signing the peace agreements, that marked the end of World War II.

		It was a specify of 1937 emitted by the Imperial Navy to generate to the project of the G4M, a terrestrial long-range bomber.
		Developed in many versions during the war, the G4M, codified by the allies with the name of Betty, was costantly improved, but conserved always a light armor and the lack of self-sealing fuel tanks.
		The Betty was tha most built Japanese bomber and remained in production until the end of the war.

		Its Ki-46 were originally scheduled to fly to their new station together with G4M bombers, but due to different speeds of both types and concerns about insufficient technical support during the movement, the JAAF decided to ship the aircraft instead.
