Developed based on the Junkers K51 being assumed future attack of Corregidor in 1932.
6 were produced but cancelled by 1940 as too heavy and slow.

Our wiki tells that Germany was restricted to produce such heavy bombers under the Treaty of Versailles, so Junkers engineers came to Japan with the K51 design.
