Description: The Type 88 bombsight (right) was fitted on Japanese B5N2 torpedo bombers for accuracy during high level conventional bombing. The torpedo release lever (top left) was fitted on all B5N2 aircraft, and would be pulled to release the torpedo from the underbelly of the aircraft. The manual bomb release (bottom left) features 8 T-shaped handles that bombardiers used to individually release bombs during attacks.
