Historical Information about the Q1W1 Tokai (“Lorna”)

The Q1W1 Tokai ("Lorna") aircraft is a Japanese design dedicated to anti-submarine warfare during World War II, used primarily by the Japanese Naval Air Force. This model debuted in 1944 and played an important role during patrols over the Pacific waters. Although its production ran for a short period, the Q1W1 is an excellent example of the rare machines from the war’s final stages.
