Actually, it's an Aichi M6A1 Seiran, one of the so called "Panama
Canal Bombers" designed to be carried on the large I-400 class
submarines. The aircraft at Udvar-Hazy is the only remaining example.
They were just finishing up restoration of this aircraft a few years
back when I took the tour of the Paul E. Garber facility.
Unfortunately, that tour is no longer given, but a good amount of
things seen there have since gone on display at Udvar-Hazy
