In 1942, the Imperial Japanese Navy requested an anti-submarine aircraft that could be used to patrol coastlines. The Kyushu Q1W1 Tokai (allied code name "Lorna") entered service in early 1945 and looked something like a dragonfly. The heavily glazed nose and greenhouse canopy were helpful for observing the sea below.  It used to low power engines so it could fly slow and stay in the air for long periods without refueling. The Q1W1 was fitted with a radar array and magnetic anamoly detection gear for finding submarines lurking offshore. Once a sub was spotted, the Q1W1 could drop a pair of 550-lb bombs or depth charges and strafe with combination of machine guns and cannon. The Lorna was introduced too late in the war to have much of an impact. Kyushu produced 153 Q1W1 aircraft before the war ended.
