[80 years ago today] "• The Nakajima G5N has its maiden flight. An attempt by Japan to create a bomber capable of reaching North America, it is based on the Douglas DC-4E airliner which has been clandestinely sold to Nakajima.

 

Performance will be disappointing and the six aircraft built will be used as transports. A design by Kawasaki and a follow-on by Nakajima will not be pursued.
