Description

AICHI TYPE 99 D3A ( Allied Code - name ’ Val ’ ) ( Japan )
First Flight : 1936 - 37 Two - seat carrier - based dive - bomber
Except for its Spitfire - like semi - elliptical wings, the Aichi D3A was far from beautiful ; but it achieved one of the greatest successes in air warfare when it spearheaded Japan’s attack on the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbour on December 7th, 1941, at the start of the Pacific War. It had been designed five years earlier to a Japanese naval specification, and a total of 478 of the original D3A 1 version were built before being superseded by the more powerful D3A 2 in August 1942. Production of the D3A 2 totalled 817, but its slow speed and light armament made it easy prey for Allied fighters in 1943 - 44.
