Mitsubishi J2M "Raiden" (Jack)

A NARA photo of what looks like a Mitsubishi J2M3 found at the end of the War in Japan probably in the Mitsubishi factory in Suzuka, Mie prefecture, where "Raiden" production was concentrated after the Summer of 1944. Suzuka is famous for its F1 racing circuit. 
Although revealing a lot of details of the Kasei 23a engine, this particular photo is surprisingly not often reproduced in books.
