Introduction

紅茶の国で生まれた運動性の高い艦上爆撃機です。
非力ではありますが、高性能な艦上戦闘機を装備しない初期の同海軍の海上航空戦力として、よく空を支えました。
名機「Spitfire」の艦戦型などにその任を引き継いでいきます。

A carrier-based dive bomber with high mobility from the country of black tea.
Although weak, it protected the navy in the early days, when high-performance fighters were not yet available.
It was supplanted by the carrier version of the famous Spitfire, among others.
