3,794 JAPANAIR1  6.9 years ago

The Nakajima G10N Fugaku (Japanese: ?? or ??, "Mount Fuji"), was a planned Japanese ultra-long-range heavy bomber designed during World War II. It was conceived as a method for mounting aerial attacks from Japan against industrial targets along the West Coast (e.g., San Francisco), Midwestern (e.g., Detroit, Chicago, and Wichita) and Northeastern (e.g., New York and Norfolk) of the United States. Japan's worsening war situation resulted in the project's cancellation in 1944 and no prototype was ever built.
