Mitsubihsi made the Betty. And the Zero fighter. Both were about the only two good aircraft the Japs made.

The Japs made many fine aircraft but they came too late to make a difference.

No, the Japanese made some terrifyinglt good aircraft.
What they could not make were reliable engines.

That is not based on fact. The Japs had many more aircraft in their arsenal than that and some of them were very good to excellent. This is what I was trying to discuss with you but you are incapable of and academic discussion about anything,

First of all both the zero and the betty bomber were not good aircraft. They were terrible aircraft and obsolete by 1942. They fell apart when hit with one bust of machine gun fire. Most burned up before hitting the water.

The Japs realized this and made much better aircraft but had numerous production problems which prevented them for fielding these superior aircraft in large numbers. But they had them, especially George and Frank.
