Mitsubishi J2M Raiden - Thunderbolt Notebook

The Mitsubishi J2M Raiden, thunderbolt in English and nicknamed 'Jack' by Allied forces, is a single-engine, land-based fighter aircraft that soared through the skies of the Pacific Theatre during World War II. Entering service in 1942, the Raiden was designed as an interceptor, prioritizing speed and climb performance to counter high-altitude threats. With its powerful Mitsubishi Kasei engine, armed with cannons that packed a punch, the J2M Raiden was a formidable adversary for Allied bombers and fighters alike. Despite its late entry into the war and the challenges it faced, including production difficulties and engine reliability issues, the Raiden earned its place in history as a symbol of Japanese ingenuity and the fierce spirit of its pilots. Its legacy is marked by its distinctive design, impressive performance specifications, and the pivotal role it played in defending the Japanese homeland.
