Historical background and use of the Aichi B7A2 Grace

The B7A2 Grace, known by the Allied code name "Grace", was the most powerful Japanese torpedo bomber produced towards the end of World War II. Developed for the Imperial Japanese Navy, it was intended to operate from the decks of modernized aircraft carriers in planned large-scale operations in the Pacific. Due to the significant losses of the Japanese fleet and production difficulties, these aircraft were mainly used for the defense of the home archipelago during 1944–1945. It served, among others, during heavy air battles over the Japanese islands and participated in missions against American ships.
