The Mitsubishi G3M Nell, a name given by Allied forces, was a mainstay in the Imperial Japanese Navy's airborne arsenal during the 1930s and 1940s. This long-range bomber made its mark in history with its exceptional range and speed, allowing it to carry out operations far beyond what was expected from bombers of its time. The G3M played pivotal roles in early World War II, notably in the sinking of Prince of Wales and Repulse, showcasing its strategic importance in naval warfare. Its design featured innovations that would influence bomber development for years to come. Serving across vast expanses of the Pacific, the G3M Nell was both feared and respected, embodying the reach and ambition of the Imperial Japanese Navy's air power.
