「Raiden」302nd Naval Air Corps specification
「The "Raiden" was a good aircraft.
It has good climbing ability, and if you use the flaps, it can also engage in aerial combat.
I liked it. I also had an air battle against a P-51.
If I had been on a Zero Fighter, I probably wouldn't have survived.
I survived because it is a Raiden. The distinctive high-pitched sound of the Raiden's forced cooling fan still lingers in my ears even now」
