Title: Identify this naval aircraft.
Post by: Widewing on February 01, 2001, 09:56:00 AM

a group of U.S. Navy personnel roll this single-engine aircraft into a hanger, circa
October 1945. Identify the aircraft.

No, it is not a Nakajima B6N.

Nakajima B5N2

Potentially, the captured B5N2 with radar that was tested at Anacostia Naval Station, that had the antenna located on the rear sides of the fueselage?

Dead on. Attached in another photo showing the antenna on the fuselage and leading edges of the wings.
