First Types had weaker wings, which were soon replaced with stronger, steel core ones, allowing it to reach the huge payload. Able to carry a 2500lb Torpedo, It carried a punch, a devastating one at that. Once it gained air in the Pacific, The Japanese could only pray for the best. This variant here, Is the last one, increasing reliability and overall performance, which was in 1947. The Buzzer made it all the way to 1952, before it was out of military service for good. 119 Running aircraft still remain, which most of are bought by private associates.
