	Yokosuka 'Frances' P1Y Ginga / Kyokko (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The P1Y was maneuvrable, sturdy, had long range and could outrun allied fighters at low level.
		The P1Y appeared when Japan was already defeated and many were sent on suicide missions.
		The P1Y was also chosen as carrier for the MXY-7 model 22 suicide aircraft, but this combination did not enter combat.

	Yokosuka P1Y Ginga Frances ::: www.avionslegendaires.net
		Dès 1940, la Marine Impériale avait demandé aux bureaux d'études du Kugisho de Yokosuka de concevoir un appareil moyen rapide destiné au bombardement horizontal, en piqué, ainsi qu'au torpillage.
		Yokosuka s'inspira pour son étude du Junkers Ju-88 allemand, réputé pour sa polyvalence, et confia à Nakajima la réalisation du prototype, qui vola pour la première fois en août 1943.
		Le Yokosuka P1Y-1 Ginga fut le meilleur avion d'attaque japonais de la seconde guerre mondiale ; il constitua pour les Américains une surprise d'autant plus mauvaise qu'il fut utilisé en grand nombre.

		With all its aircraft carriers lost, the Japanese navy now had to rely on the fast twin-engine “Yokosuka P1Y «Ginga»” (Milky Way) bomber.
		This aircraft, known to the allies as Frances, was deservedly respected by them.
		The order for the development of a strike aircraft comparable to the latest American “North American B-25 «Mitchell»” and “Martin B-26 «Marauder»” bombers and equipped with the same Nakajima «Homare» engine as B7A, was given to the 1-st Naval Technical Aviation Arsenal in Yokosuka at the end of 1940.

		Called a major development in Japanese bombardment aircraft by the USAAF, the P1Y Ginga was the first truly high-speed medium bomber to serve the Japanese Navy (Allied code name Frances).
		Development of the P1Y began in 1940 with the first aircraft, built by the Yokosuka Naval Air Depot, making its first flight in 8/43.
		A number of other P1Y variants were proposed, including an enlarged P1Y2 planned to carry the Baka Human-guided bomb.

		Only two examples of the Besson MB-411, a French floatplane designed to be operated from a submarine, were built, but it gets a page.
		The Yokosuka E14Y "Glen," also designed to be launched and recovered by submarines, was extensively operated in that role by the Japanese Navy (and has the peculiar distinction of being the only enemy aircraft ever to have bombed the continental United States); hundreds were built but the Glen is not included in the book.
		The Blackburn Firebrand, a carrier fighter-topedo bomber that did not enter operational service until September 1945, is here, but the Fairey Firefly, a much more successful British carrier fighter-bomber built in far larger numbers and flown successfully from British carriers in the last two years of the war, is not.

		The Imperial Japanese Navy's First Air Fleet, based at Manila was assigned the task of assisting the Japanese ships which would attempt to destroy Allied forces in Leyte Gulf.
		However, the First Air Fleet at that time only had 40 aircraft: 34 Mitsubishi Zero carrier-based fighters, three Nakajima B6N torpedo bombers, one Mitsubishi G4M and two Yokosuka P1Y land-based bombers, and one reconnaissance plane.
		This included new types of attacks, including purpose-built Yokosuka MXY7 Ohka rocket-bombs, small boats packed with explosives, and manned torpedoes, called the Kaiten.

		The engineering staff at the Yokosuka Naval Aeronautical Research Laboratory worked to convert the proposal into a flying design, implementing an aircraft that was to be easily flown by a poorly-trained pilot, as well as simple and cheap to build.
		A decision was made to have it manufactured at the Yokosuka Arsenal to help keep the weapon secret.
		The smaller Model 22 Oka was to be carried by the Yokosuka P1Y "Francis" twin-engine bomber, which was much less vulnerable than the Betty and could fly higher.

		Japanese air opposition, intensifying since the early part of the Philippine campaign, was becoming more deadly.
		West Virginia's men saw evidence of that when a twin-engined Yokosuka P1Y "Frances" crashed the escort carrier Ommaney Bay (CVE-79) at 17:12 on 4 January.
		Fires and explosions ultimately forced the abandonment of the "jeep carrier", her survivors being picked up by other ships in the screen.
