KATE BOMBER REPLICAS

Ellington Field Houston TX

The Nakajima B5N (Allied reporting name: "Kate") was the standard torpedo bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy for much of World War II.
Altogether, around 1,150 were built; however, not a single complete example survived. A large portion of a B5N2 was recovered from the Kuril Islands by a British private collector in 2003.
Replicas of the B5N2s were made from U.S. T-6 Texan training aircraft, which were modified to represent Japanese planes for the movie Tora! Tora! Tora!,
and have been used in a number of movies and airshows since to depict the planes.
