About the J1N1-Sa Night Fighter Gekko Initially designed as a long-range fighter, the three-seat twin-engine Nakajima J1N1 was designated as a reconnaissance aircraft after a failure evaluation. After being successfully utilized as a night fighter against United States bombers, official production started in 1943 on a evening fighter version, the J1N1-S Gekko (moonlight). Changes included removing third chair, adding twin-mounted 20mm firearms behind cockpit canopy angled up at 30 degrees and underneath fuselage angled down at 30 degrees. The Gekko shown effective against B-17 and B-24 bombers, and continued to fight until the finish of WWII. The subsequent variation, the J1N1-Sa, showcased single exhaust piles and three 20mm canons mounted in upper fuselage with reduced weapons eliminated. Some later Gekko models additionally showcased an antenna and radar system mounted on the nose.
