A L2D2 at Zamboanga 1945, in Philippines. The L2D series, numerically, was the most important Japanese transport in World War II. Alliedcode name Tabby. Military variants, while visually similar, were substantially different. The Kinsei 51/53 engines had 1,325 hp (975 kW) and featured enlarged nacelles and large propeller spinners, while the cockpit bulkhead was moved back 40 inches (100 cm) so all four crew members forward were in one compartment, with three extra windows added behind the cockpit, like in the Li-2. Plane is not airworthy.
