What a nice looking machine.  Too bad the IJN f'ed up its development.  Is there any good post-war US testing of this bad boy out there?

Aaah, thats the RAVEN , Diablo. My wet dream :))
Yes they had tested at USAF and they was very happy that this
fighter had not the time to be in service in big numbers.
It was a B29 serial killer and not only.
If i remember well it was very fast and was turning like
Spit.  Just look his wing ;)
It had  * 6 *  20mm cannons :D

Production: A total of 10 A7Ms were built by Mitsubishi Jukogyo K.K. at Nagoya as follows:
2 A7M1 prototypes
7 A7M2 prototypes and Service trials aircraft
1 A7M2 production aircraft

Sorry to bust your wet dream, but only a few prototypes of the A7M2 were made and 1 production craft. :)
