Produced and used by Japan (Imperial Japanese Navy) from 1943–1945, it participated in the defense of Japanese cities against B-29 Superfortress raids, among other actions. Its characteristic, massive silhouette and powerful engine made the Raiden an excellent choice for rapid take-offs and effective interceptions at medium and high altitudes.
