"Val" Japanese Naval dive bomber in level flight.  Note the externally-mounted dive brake on the near wing (in non-deployed, horizontal position) and the distinctive dorsal fin, incorporated to impart stability lacking in earlier models.  The "Val" was an effective dive bomber, and served the Imperial Japanese Navy from 1939 to 1945.  Best regards, JR.
