The most produced Japanese bomber of the World War II (1939-1945); the G4M saw action on every front from the first day of the Pacific conflict through to VJ-Day. The 'Betty's' very long range made it a key weapon during the opening year of the war. However; to achieve this; the aircraft was built with very little protective armour for its crew or fuel tanks; and Allied pilots soon exposed its extreme vulnerability. In the first in a series of volumes examining the key Japanese aircraft of WW2; Dr Osamu Tagaya details the G4M's extensive combat history; and lists all the units which operated the bomber.
