The Potez XIX was a prototype French night bomber built by Potez in the 1920s.
The Potez XIX first flew in 1923 but did not win orders from the French military. Tests of Potez XIX Bp.2 were conducted in Japan from August 31 to October 7, 1925. According to the test results, a small radius of action, a weak bomb load and poor communication between crew members were noted. Naturally, the Japanese military rejected this obsolete bomber. [1]

However, it performed a useful ground-attack role in the China-Burma-India theater, notably from airfields too rough for many other aircraft. As the war drew to a close, the Japanese began using them in kamikaze attacks. Total production was around 2,385 units.
