The G4M2 "Betty" was found at Clark Field in flyable condition however, the bomber under went maintenance work, for flight testing.
The Betty was encountered by US forces since 1941, this G4M2 was the first to be captured
Technical Air Intelligence removed armament
radio, radar and other equipment for testing and inspecton. The aircraft was stripped of camouflage paint, technicians studied the construction of the bomber.
Another Betty was tested by the British what happened to the aircraft after testing is unknown.
