| Quick Info
The G5N was a development of the Douglas DC-4E, which flew for the first time on 7 June 1938, but was rejected on the American market, because it was underpowered. The Japanese Imperial Navy bought the only example (the prototype) of the DC-4E and used it as the basis for the G5N. It crashed later. The G5N was orginally designed by Mitsubishi as the G5M1, but was not succesful and the project was taken over by Nakajima. The work on the G5N started in early 1939, and one year later the prototype was completed. It had the wings, the undercarriage and the powerplant installation of the DC-4E. During the flight test, the performance was disappointing, mainly because Japan had no experience with the developemnt of large aircraft, and the project was cancelled. The designation of the Japanse Imperial Navy for the G5N1 was Type 2 Land Attack Plane, Model 11 Variants
