Craftsmen are restoring a rare ‘Myrt’ Japanese warplane, one of only two known to exist

A military aircraft buff is leading the restoration of a rare example of the last Japanese warplane downed during World War II. Through August 2022, visitors can check out part of a Nakajima C6N Saiun at the Kawaguchiko Zero Fighter Museum near Mount Fuji, Japan.
