Historical Background of the Aichi M6A1 Seiran

The Aichi M6A1 Seiran was a unique assault floatplane specifically designed for Japan’s I-400-class submarines – the largest submarines of their time. Its primary mission was to carry out devastating attacks on distant enemy bases. The Seiran could be swiftly assembled and featured folding wings and propeller, which enabled it to be stored onboard the submarine. Although it was designed for secret missions against the United States, only a limited number of operations were carried out, mainly just before the end of World War II.
