Nakajima B6N Tenzan Navy Carrier Attack Bomber Family

The Nakajima B6N Tenzan was Japan’s Navy carrier attack bomber family, an evolution of the B5N Kate that carried torpedoes or bombs from fleet carriers and later land bases. B6N1, B6N2, B6N2a, and prototype B6N3 branches span the Mamoru-to-Kasei engine transition, carrier operations, and the late-war shift to land-based attacks.
