It appears that all the George’s got dropped from my Webshot “Axis Aircraft” section. Hmm

I believe that the Preserved Axis Aircraft site is in error calling the NASM George an N1K1. It's an N1K2J (low-wing, not mid-wing).

I took these shots of it in October 1981, before NASM aquired it. It was on display outdoors at Willow Grove NAS for many years.
