	Radio Control Aircraft - Mitsubishi J2M3 Radien for AXI or Mega power
		The Mitsubishi J2M Raiden (Thunderbolt) land-based fighter used by the Japanese Navy was the first Japanese fighter to be designed from the outset for the interception role, with emphasis being placed on speed and climb rather than on maneuverability.
		The high priority given by Mitsubishi to the development of the A6M Reisen (Zero Fighter) series of carrier-based fighters caused the completion of the first prototype J2M1 to be delayed until February of 1942.
		One Mitsubishi MK4R-A Kasei 23a 14-cylinder radial air-cooled engine rated at 1870 hp for takeoff, with military ratings of 1580 hp at sea level, 1695 hp at 6890 feet, 1560 hp at 18,045 feet.

		The J2M Raiden (Thunderbolt) code-named Jack by the Allies, was the first Japanese naval fighter specifically designed from the outset for the land-based interception role.
		The Ki-43 is often confused with its contemporary, the famed Mitsubishi A6M Reisen (Zero Fighter) of the Japanese Navy, and was often misidentified as a "Zero" early in the war.
		As compared to the Mitsubishi A6M2 Reisen, the Ki-43-Ic had a substantially lower wing loading but was nevertheless slightly inferior to the carrier-based fighter in overall maneuverability.

	Mitsubishi JM2 Raiden - 'Jack'
		Unusual features in the basic design were a tiny laminar-flow wing fitted with combat flaps, a finely streamlined engine with propeller extension shaft and fan cooling, a very shallow enclosed canopy, and a surprising number of forged parts in the stressed-skin airframe.
		The prototype Mitsubishi M-20, powered by a 1,460 hp Kasei, gave a great deal of trouble, with the result that the aircraft was largely redesigned as the J2M2, with a different engine, much deeper canopy, multi-stack exhaust and a new four-blade propeller.
		Nonetheless Mitsubishi had only built 450 Raidens, of all variants, by the time the war ended.

	The Mitsubishi J2M \| WARBIRDS \| MUSTANG P-51 \| (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Known to the Japenese pilots as the Raiden and the US pilots as the Thunderbolt, the Mitsubishi J2M reflected a desire by the Imperial navy, for a future need for land based interceptors.
		The design was sound, but early teething problems as well as heavy criticism from Navy pilots about the lack of visibility from the cockpit resulted in the design being re-examined.
		The J2M2 now powered by a Kasei Model 23a engine, the first in Japan to feature water-methanol injection, devloped further faults that resulted in further modifications that it needed before it would be ready for combat.

		Ki.1, Mitsubishi (Type 93) This was a angular monoplane bomber based on the Junkers K.37.
		Mitsubishi complained that it was already overburdened, and no design was made.
		The Ki.108 was a derivative of the Ki.102 with a pressure cabin, intended as a B-29 interceptor.

	Mitsubishi J2M
		In the excellent Model Art on the J2M Raiden, there are several photos of two J2M2 developmental prototypes at Yokosuka in 1943/44.
		My reasoning was that the Mitsubishi aircraft company did not paint the prototype A6M Zero in the experimental color and, therefore, I did not see any particular reason they would change their policy with the J2M prototype.
		However, the application of the white surround to the fuselage hinomaru, while not indicating a base color, could be Mitsubishi's conformity to the directive of October 1942 to make the hinomaru more conspicuous on Japanese home-based aircraft.

	Mitsubishi J2M Raiden review
		The Mitsubishi J2M Raiden (whilst Raiden was the name the Japanese gave it, it was widely known by the Allies by its code name of Jack).
		The aircraft was designed against a Japanese Naval Air Force requirement for a high speed and fast rate of climb land based interceptor for employment in the defence of strategic positions – a point defence fighter to defend against air attack from ground-attack and bomber aircraft.
		The J2M Raiden "Jack" was a stubby little A/C that I compare to the P-47 Thunderbolt in that it was a departure away from the maneuverability and lightweight airframe of the Zero.

	Mitsubishi J2M Raiden
		The origins of the Mitsubishi J2M Raiden take place in a specify emitted in 1938 by the Japanese Navy about an interceptor monopost fighter.
		After some attempts to give the plane an engine with adequate power, the plane (nicknamed Raiden) was put in production on October 1942, but the entry in active service was only in December 1943, with the model J2M3.
		Generally less performing than the Kawanishi N1K2, the J2M Raiden was put out of the first sight in favor of the other fighter.

	WW2 Warbirds: the Mitsubishi A6M Reisen Allied codename 'Zeke' or 'Zero Fighter' - Frans Bonné
		The Mitsubishi A6M is probably the most famous warplane of the Japanese air forces of World War 2.
		During 1937 the Mitsubishi A5M had entered service only shortly, and proved to be superior to most contemporary fighters.
		Sano quickly assessed the changes as feasible, but requested permission to change the powerplant to the more powerful Mitsubishi Kinsei radial engine so that performance would not be degraded by the inevitable weight increases of the additional armament, protection and fuel.

	Warplanes of 20th Century - Japanese
		This Mitsubishi fighter remained tough mainly due to continual updating during its production period which lasted from March 1939 until August 1945.
		The Mitsubishi design team pressed on with their efforts to meet the tough specifications despite having to pull out of the design competition for the Navy Experimental 11-Shi Carrier Bomber.
		Another reason for the delay in the development of the J2M, was that almost all of Mitsubishi's technical staff was being devoted to the A6M during this time.

		Unlike USN practice, the digit "1" was not ignored in this system and was included.

		I'd be real interested in seeing if Wings or Airpower magazines would print an article on the results of post-war evaluation of Axis planes vs US types.
		The Americans did speak of the J2M in "glowing terms" according to my reference.
		Had quality control not slipped, i think the Ki84 (Allied code-name FRANK) would have been better than the J2M.
