Although not exactly known which went where, six of them were operated by the Kisarazu kokutai and two by the Yokosuka kokutai. The participated in the opening stages of the Second Sino-Japanese War from an airfield on South Korea's Jeju island and belonged to the 1st Combined Kokutai starting with an air raid against the areas of Jiangwan and Nanxiang districts of Shanghai on September 30, 1937. They dropped twenty no25 (250kg) bombs and forty no6 (60kg) bombs. On October 24, 1937 while preparing for take-off fire started on one of them from the break system and jumped to the fuel resulting in an explosion. It seems that they were very close to each other so the fire spread to other G2Hs. The remaining aircraft were joined by the other two G2H1 of the Yokosuka kokutai and all together arrived to Shanghai on November 2, 1937 where they continued their operations. Sources do not agree. Encyclopedia vol. 3 (Nihon Kokuki Sosyu, 1963) and Mikesh&Abe mention that on the way to their deployment to Jeju island "and for unexplained reasons, one G2H dropped out of formation and crashed near the coast of Sagami Bay southwest of Tokyo". This means that there were only five aircraft left and when the 10/24 accident occurred, four were burned and one was destroyed by an explosion. That would mean that no G2H were left and do not mention the two from Yokosuka ku joining that fight. Other sources, ex. "All the Regular Formed Aircraft in Japanese Navy" (Nihon Kaigun Seishikiki Taikan), do not mention the one which dropped out of formation but instead explain that 4 a/c were burned in the 10/24 accident and one was destroyed by an explosion, leaving only one to be joined by the two of the Yokosuka Ku. In total three aircraft arrived in Shanghai on 11/2..

The entire aircraft had a aerofoil section, and there were two huge propellers located in the center of the aircraft. They rotated in opposite directions, thus canceling out torque problems. At low speeds, control was achieved by varying power to each propeller. Power was to be provided by an unnamed turbojet, and forward propulsion was brought about by sending exhaust through a nozzle located on both trailing edges. The landing gear was very simple, consisting of two main gear legs on either side of the center propellers, and a small tail wheel. A single fin and rudder was provided to help with lateral stability at higher speeds. The single pilot sat in a cockpit nacelle that protruded from the front of the aerofoil section fuselage..

In the early 1950s, the British Admiralty issued Naval Air Staff Target NAST 39, which laid out the service's requirements for a two-seat, carrier-based attack bomber for service at the end of the decade. This requirement was met, in 1955, by the brilliantly conceived and executed Blackburn/Hawker-Siddeley Buccaneer. But the Buccaneer was not the only response to the Navy's call. Nor was it the most innovative, despite its many advanced features. That distinction goes to one of the proposals that went unfunded, Short's radical, tailless PD.13. In keeping with the orthodoxies of the time, NAST 39 called for an aircraft optimized for low-level, high-subsonic, tactical nuclear strikes using a 1-kiloton nuclear bomb. This device would be delivered using a high-speed toss maneuver. At a point chosen by computer, the aircraft would pitch up sharply to lob the bomb towards the target and then follow up with an Immelman and a low-level escape. But NAST 39 also required a secondary, conventional attack and reconaissance capability. Both needs had to be met by a long-ranging aircraft that could operate from the comparatively small British carriers of the time. In 1952, the Ministry of Supply regularized NAST 39 as specification M.146T Short Brothers and Harland became invoved with M.146T at the instigation of the firm's chief test pilot, Tom Brooke-Smith. Brooke-Smith pointed out that the firm's ongoing research into improving the handling of high-speed wing shapes at low speeds and altitudes might give the firm considerable advantages in the M.146T contest, given the awkward combination of high weights, short take-off and landing distances, and high-speed, low gust-response aerodynamics that the specification demanded. This research was an extension of the work of Professor G.T.R Hill, the well-known proponent of tailless flight and the developer of the Pterodactyl aircraft of the 1930s. In the post-war years, Hill became interested int the handling problems that plagued the first generation of swept-wing, transonic fighters and research aircraft. He was able to show that, when applied to a swept surface, conventional structural principles let the wing twist in ways that nullified or reversed control inputs, producing instability and loss of control or structural failure. Hill's answer to this problem was twofold: an "aero-isoclinic" wing designed to flex in ways that enhanced stability and controllability and "tip controllers," all-moving wingtips that offered greater control power than conventional ailerons. Hill's ideas seemed to have merit when tested in the Short SB.1 glider and SB.4 Sherpa jet research aircraft. For M.145T, the Short Borthers design team proposed a evolutionary two seater with folding, aero-isoclinic wings, tip controllers, and Rolls-Royce RA.19 engines fitted with jet deflection. The the twin-wheeled nose landing gear retracted aft into the uselage, while the single-wheel main struts swung aft into streamlined blisters on the trailing edge of th sharply swept wing.The crew cabin recalled that of the de Havilland Sea Vixen. The pilot sat under a fighter-type bubble canopy to port, while the navigator sat beneath a flush-mounted hatch to his right The PD.13 offered too many advanced features to be successful, in fact. These innovations introduced clear risks without offering equally clear advantages. Tailless aircraft had a largely disastrous record at the time (witness the Dh.113). Jet deflection was a complete unknown that might cause all sorts of fatigue, deck handling, and stability problems. The tip controllers, though arguably advantageous for a high-altitude fighter, offered no real advantages in a strike airplane operating at sea level. , There were (and still are) doubts about the real efficacy of aero-isoclinic wing design, particularly since more conventional solutions (such as inboard ailerons slab tailplanes) were by now well-proven. Given the success of the less-radical but still very advanced Buccaneer, all this was enough to doom Short efforts..
