Yokosuka D4Y1 Suisei - 空技廠 D4Y 彗星 - Walkaround - Yushukan Museum.

Originally uploaded 18 apr. 2020.

The D4Y named by the Allies Judy was a two-seat carrier-based dive bomber developed by the Yokosuka Naval Air Technical Arsenal in the 1940's it was originally designed as a dive bomber, it would be used as a reconnaissance plane, night fighter and in special attack unit like the kamikaze.

The d4y was presumably one of the last planes to be used in a Kamikaze attack hours after the surrender of Japan. with admiral Matome Ugaki from the Imperial Japanese Navy on board and Ugaki apparently heard the Japanese surrender on the radio, but wrote in his diary noting that he had not yet received an official cease-fire order, and that he alone was to blame for the failure of his valiant aviators to stop the enemy, he would fly one last mission himself to show the true spirit of Bushido.
