Historical background of the Nakajima B6N2 Tenzan

The Nakajima B6N2 Model 12 Tenzan, also known as the "Jill," was a Japanese torpedo bomber used by the Empire of Japan, primarily from 1943–1945 during World War II. It succeeded the aging B5N "Kate" and served mainly on aircraft carriers, taking part in such battles as the Philippines, Leyte, and Okinawa.
