	Nakajima B5N - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike the B5N Kate, its Allied counterparts the TBD Devastator and Fairey Swordfishwere was obsolescent by 1939, B5Ns were flown nearly throughout the whole war.
		The B5N was designed by a team led by Katsuji Nakamura in response to a 1935 specification by the Navy for a torpedo bomber to replace the Yokosuka B4Y.
		The B5N served as the basis for a follow-on design, the Nakajima B6N, which eventually replaced it in front-line service.

		Specifications issued to Nakajima that year called for a 3-seat, carrier-based, torpedo bomber with a top speed of 464 kph (288 mph), a normal operating range of 1,853 km (1,151 miles), and a weapons load equal to the B5N.
		Nakajima had to sweep the vertical tail forward in order to meet the length constraint imposed by the size of carrier deck elevators.
		Nakajima had to redesign the tail to increase stability, and the engine caused trouble too.

		Designed as a replacement for the B5N KATE, the B6N Tenzan (Heavenly Mountain) was the Imperial Japanese Navy’s standard torpedo bomber for the final years of the Pacific conflict.
		In spite of a considerable increase in weight, Matsumura was constrained by the IJN’s carrier stowage requirement to use a wing roughly the same span and area as the earlier aircraft.
		The distinction is that by the time Nakajima was able to make a decent aircraft out of it, the Allies had gained such overwhelming superiority that it didn’t make a difference.

		Powered by a Nakajima Hikan radial engine, the low-wing three-crew monoplane with inwards-retracting wide-track landing gear was exceptionally clean, and first flew in January 1937.
		Given the reporting name 'Kate' by the Allies, the B5N certainly earned the respect of the Americans, and in all the major carrier battles of the Pacific War attracted the undivided attention of defending fighters.
		With its puny defensive armament of a single machine-gun and laden with a large bomb or torpedo, however, the B5N began to suffer very heavily, and although the type was fully committed during the Solomons campaign the survivors were withdrawn from combat after the Philippine battles of 1944.

		The Japanese navy's standard torpedo plane was the Nakajima B5N, which entered service in 1937—; the same year as America's ill-fated Douglas TBD.

		After careful evaluations were made, the navy again reissued the specifications in the hopes that it would be able to replace the B4Y1 Type 96 carrier attack bombers that had been accepted as a stopgap measure until suitable aircraft could be developed.

		The Nakajima B5N was the Imperial Japanese Navy’s standard torpedo bomber for the first years of the Second World War.
		At the beginning of the Pacific War, the B5N was quite old, having been designed to meet a specification of 1935, and was already judged to be obsolescent.
		However, when it was first put into production it had been the most advanced torpedo plane in the world, and in war it still out-performed any Allied shipborne torpedo-plane until the arrival of the Grumman Avenger in mid-1942.

		One of their most notable successes was the mission carried out against the aircraft carriers USS Yorktown, Lexington, and Hornet which sank as a consequence of the precise and deadly attacks of the B5N2's.
		This withdrawal did not mean that the B5N2's became any less effective and they performed admirably in the roles of antisubmarine convoy escort, and (fitted with radar) reconnaissance.

		Nakajima's B5N was an answer to a 1935 requirement for a naval torpedo bomber that could also perform long range reconnaissance.
		After being blooded in China in the late 1930s, improved versions of the B5N were available in large numbers for the start of the war with the US.
		Kates were responsible for much of the devastation created at Pearl Harbor as they and their 'Long Lance' torpedoes were most effective against the battleships moored next to Ford Island.

	WW2 Warbirds: the Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa Allied codename 'Oscar' - Frans Bonné
		Nakajima entrusted the task of designing the new fighter to a team under the supervision of Hideo Itokawa, and this team quickly evolved a cantilever low-wing monoplane of basically all-metal construction with fabric-covered control surfaces.
		The core of the structure was the semi-monocoque fuselage, which changed from a circular section at the front to an oval section father to the rear in the area of the cockpit, which was raised above the line of the fuselage and provided the pilot with very good fields of vision.
		The main difference from the Ki-43-II KAI was the powerplant, which was 1 × Nakajima Ha-115-II radial, rated 1,230 hp (917 kW) at 9,185 ft (2.800 m).

		He also ensured the development of more advance fighter and attack aircraft capable of operating from carrier decks.
		The result of this was the production of such aircraft as the Nakajima B5N torpedo bomber, the Aichi D3A dive-bomber, and the Mitsubishi A6M fighter, which were respectively code named the "Kate", "Val", and "Zero" by the allies during World War II.
		It was Yamamoto’s dogged persistence in directing the Navy’s time and resources toward the aviation component of naval might -at the expense of the battleships- that contributed to Japan’s effortless victories over the allies in the opening months of the war.

		The Type K was a cantilever low-wing monoplane of basically all-metal construction with fabric-covered control surfaces, and included among its more advanced features wide-track main landing gear units that hydraulically retracted inward, and outer wing panels that folded upward and inward with the starboard wing under the port wing.
		Like almost all Japanese aircraft, the B5N were most succesfull during the early War years.
		The B5N was then withdrawn from bomber service only to be pressed into service as an anti-submarine type.
