Historical Information

The Nakajima B6N1 Model 11 Tenzan, known to the Allies as "Jill," was a carrier-based torpedo bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy. The aircraft served from 1943 during World War II, replacing the earlier B5N "Kate" model. The Tenzan was used in battles such as the Philippine Sea and the Battle of Leyte in 1944. It was noted for its performance, including increased range and payload, making it the primary torpedo bomber of the Japanese air force towards the end of the war.
