Mitsubishi 1MT
The Mitsubishi 1MT was a Japanese single-seat triplane torpedo bomber built by Mitsubishi for the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service. Designed by the former Sopwith designer Herbert Smith, it was intended for use aboard the Japanese aircraft carrier Hōshō. The 1MT1N flew for the first time in August 1922, and it entered service as the Navy Type 10 Torpedo Bomber or Carrier Attacker. Twenty aircraft were built, but the aircraft were difficult to fly and unable to operate from an aircraft carrier when carrying a torpedo. The type was soon withdrawn and scrapped.
