info
The Mitsubishi G3M Nell was a twin-engine, long-range medium bomber aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service during World War II. Developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the G3M Nell played a significant role in the early stages of the Pacific War, including the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941. With its impressive range and payload capacity, the G3M Nell was a versatile aircraft used for strategic bombing, reconnaissance, and anti-submarine warfare. Despite its initial successes, the G3M Nell faced challenges later in the war due to improvements in Allied air defenses and the introduction of more advanced enemy aircraft. Nonetheless, it remained in service throughout the conflict and contributed to Japan's wartime efforts.
