Welcome to another episode of Warbird Wednesday! The Kyushu K11W Shiragiku made by the Kyushu Aircraft Company, was a land-based bombing trainer aircraft that served in the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service in the latter years of World War II. As indicated by its Japanese designation, “training aircraft for on-board work”, it was designed to train crews in operating equipment for the bombing, navigation, and communication, as well as navigation techniques. A total of 798 K11Ws were manufactured, including a small number of K11W2 ASW and transport aircraft alongside the K11W1 trainer variant. These aircraft were also used in kamikaze missions during the last stages of the Pacific War.
