Mitsubishi G4M

Mitsubishi G4M () adalah pesawat bomber darat utama bermesin ganda, yang digunakan oleh Dinas Udara Angkatan Laut Kekaisaran Jepang pada Perang Dunia II. Pihak Sekutu memberi G4M nama pelaporan Betty. Pilot Angkatan Laut Jepang menyebutnya , karena bentuknya yang silinder.

G4M memiliki kinerja yang sangat baik, terutama dalam hal jangkauan, yang dapat dicapai dengan strukturnya yang ringan dan nyaris tidak adanya perlindungan bagi awaknya, tanpa armor plating atau tangki bahan bakar diri menyegel. Kelalaian ini terbukti menjadi kelemahan saat berhadapan dengan pesawat tempur Amerika selama Perang Pasifik.
