During World War Two, Japan secretly acquired one of America’s most advanced aircraft — the Douglas DC-4E. This revolutionary 1930s airliner was meant to change aviation forever, but instead it was reverse-engineered by the Imperial Japanese Navy and transformed into the Nakajima G5N Shinzan heavy bomber.
This documentary reveals how the United States unknowingly transferred cutting-edge aviation technology to Japan in 1939, how Nakajima engineers attempted to convert the DC-4E into a long-range bomber, and why the Shinzan became one of the worst military aircraft of the Pacific War.
You will discover the forgotten story of test pilot Carl Cover, the man who flew Orville Wright aboard the DC-4E, how Douglas used the failed prototype to create the legendary C-54 Skymaster, and why Japan’s copy failed due to weight, engine problems, and lack of engineering experience.
If you love military history, WW2 aviation, secret weapons, and untold stories, this video reveals one of the most shocking technology transfers of the Second World War.
