		The Yokosuka D4Y Suisei (å½—æ, "comet") was a dive bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
		During dive-bombing trials the wings of the D4Y started to flutter, a fatal flaw for an airframe subject to the stresses of dive bombing, and initial models were used only as reconnaissance aircraft.
		The D4Y series of dive bombers were faster than the A6M Zero fighter and were employed as night fighters against the high flying B-29 bombers late in the war, a unique role for a single-engined dive bomber.

	Yokosuka D4Y
		__NOTOC__ The Yokosuka D4Y Suisei (å½—æ, "comet") was a dive bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
		During dive-bombing trials the wings of the D4Y started to flutter, so much that it could break up the wing spars, a fatal flaw for an airframe subject to the stresses of the dive bombing manoeuver, and the initial models were used as reconnaissance planes starting in late 1942.
		In the early versions the Yokosuka D4Y Suisei was hard to keep serviceable since the liquid-cooled Atsuta in-line inverted-V12 engines were unreliable and difficult to maintain.

	VAL
		The Yokosuka D4Y Suisei ('Comet') - Allied reporting-name 'Judy' - was the D3A's replacement, and by late 1944 relatively few Vals were left in service.
		The D4Y had been designed to a demanding specification of 1937, which called for a two-seat dive-bomber as fast as the A6M Zero-Sen fighter.
		After the Battle for Leyte Gulf battle the D4Y was extensively employed as a kamikaze aircraft carrying 800 kg (1,764 lb) of explosives.

		Yokosuka became the first modern arsenal to be created in Japan.
		Yokosuka was to become one of the main arsenals of the Imperial Japanese Navy into the 20th century, in which were built battleships such as ''Yamashiro'', and aircraft carriers such as ''Hiryu'' and ''Shokaku''.

		However, it was back in 1938 that the Japanese issued the «13-Si» design specification for the development of a modern dive bomber to replace D3A1 (this effort resulted in Yokosuka D4Y bomber), and in 1939 followed the «14-Si» specification for the development of a new torpedo bomber (B6N).
		Yokosuka D4Y or Judy was the fastest and the most beautiful single-engine dive bomber of WWII.
		In all, there were 2038 D4Y dive bombers made and it was only the loss of aircraft carriers and experienced pilots to superior American airpower in 1944-45 that prevented this outstanding aircraft from becoming a true success story.

		Their combat debut was during the Battle of the Philippine Sea but were ravaged by US fighters with hardly a success achieved, lack of carriers prompted most aircraft to subsequently fly from land bases where they were marginally successful, sinking the USS Princeton during the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
		Like most dive-bombers, the D4Y would have required air superiority (something that Japan sorely lacked in 1944) to be truly effective, this was unfortunate due to the superb characteristics of the aircraft which under different circumstances would have been a greater threat.
		Based on the German He 118, the first D4Y was flown in December 1941 but flutter problems delayed service entry until two years later in the form of the the standard D4Y1 dive bomber and the D4Y1-C reconnaissance variant (these were some of the few Japanese aircraft with liquid-cooled engines).

		A number of scholars believe that the Japanese leadership, elated with their initial military successes, failed or were unable to reequip their aircraft carriers with modern attack aircraft.
		However, it was back in 1938 that the Japanese issued the 13-Si design specification for the development of a modern dive bomber to replace D3A1 (this effort resulted in the Yokosuka D4Y bomber) and in 1939 the 14-Si specification for the development of a new torpedo bomber (B6N).
		D4Y1 was the only land-based aircraft in WWII history that managed to sink an aircraft carrier: On October 24, 1944 in the Battle of Leyte Gulf (the Philippine Islands) one of several Japanese dive bombers that broke through sank the American light aircraft carrier Princeton with a 500-kg bomb.

		The Yokosuka D4Y was implemented as a reconnaissance plane and dive bomber to fit that requirement.
		One of the few warplanes fitted with both a round radial engine (shown) and a liquid-cooled engine that gave the nose a pointed, distinctly different shape, the D4Y was flown by pilots that had less and less training.
		By the end of the war, thousands of young Japanese airmen had died in the D4Y either as a traditional dive bomber or as a kamikaze.

		The Yokosuka D4Y Suisei (Comet) is often compared to the British de Havilland Mosquito due to it's developmental history, excellence and versatility.
		Central in it's design, the airframe was an oval-section fuselage of semi-monocoque construction which carried the engine in the nose with its radiator in a bath set slightly back from the nose on the underside of the forward fuselage.

		The Yokosuka D4Y Suisei (Comet) JUDY dive bomber entered series production in the spring of 1943 (replacing the obsolete Aichi D3A VAL used at Pear Harbor).
		The horizontal stabilizer was reinforced to withstand the stress of pulling-out from a steep dive, and hardware was installed in the wings to carry two 150-liter (40 gal) drop tanks.
		The fighter bomber was probably based at Misawa, a testing facility operated by the First Naval Air Technical Bureau (abbreviated Kugisho in Japanese, equivalent to the U. Navy Bureau of Aeronautics).

		These five prototypes built at Yokosuka were all powered by the 960-hp DB 600G and carried a defensive armament of two forward firing 7.7mm machine guns in the upper fuselage decking and one flexible rear-firing 7.7mm machine gun operated by the radio operator.
		For short missions a maximum bomb load of 1,234 pounds could be carried and included one 1.102 pound bomb in the bomb bay and two 66 pound bombs under the wings.
		Maintenance difficulties with the Atsuta engine had plagued the operational career of the D4Y series since the early days, and many of the Navy officers were strongly advocating replacement of the unstable liquid cooled engine with an air cooled radial.
