The D4Y Yokosuka Suisei Comet (Allied named "Judy") , a designed prototype sold to japan by Germany's Heinkel He 118. The FASTEST diver bomber in WWII, 360 mph at 17,225 ft. from 1942-1945. There was only 2,038 made but they were so poorly armored because they used cloth instead of metal as the skin. The plane was then used as a kamikaze and dive-bombing missions along with the zero. (notice the similarities to the P-40-B WarHawk)
