Description: This example of a Nakajima B5N2 likely served in the Pacific Theater of WWII before being shot down or abandoned on a South Pacific island. Over the years, many parts were stripped from the plane by souvenir hunters before the wreck was acquired on behalf of the Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor (now know as the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum) in 2016. Museum volunteers assembled together the remnants of the fuselage, wing base, and starboard wing tip, in addition to fabricating new landing gear for display purposes. The original Hinomaru symbol of the Imperial Japanese Navy is still visible on the underside of the starboard wing tip. This B5N2 reconstruction is the most intact aircraft of it's type known to still exist. The complete reconstruction was unveiled in the museum's Hangar 37 exhibit hall in 2019.
