The Aichi D3A Type 99 Carrier Bomber (Allied reporting name "Val") is a World War II carrier-borne dive bomber. It was the primary dive bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) and was involved in almost all IJN actions, including the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The Aichi D3A was the first Japanese aircraft to bomb American targets in the war, commencing with Pearl Harbor and U.S. bases in the Philippines, such as Clark Air Force Base. Vals sank more Allied warships than any other Axis aircraft.

Aichi D3A ‘Val’ was one of the best dive-bombers of its time and was extremely successful in the Pacific during the early years of the war. It has succeeded in sinking the great number of Allied warships including its action during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. During the war mission, the D3A ‘Val’ showed more than 80% of targeting accuracy. The rugged design of D3A ‘Val’ makes it also a formidable fighter after dropping off its bombs.

The first prototype of Aichi had a series of problems during flight tests: it was underpowered, unstable for a tight turn. The second prototype was built with modifications to the wings, diving brakes, and used a more powerful engine. Those improvements made it superior over its Nakajima rival.
