The Mitsubishi 2MB1 (service designation 八七式軽爆撃機 Type 87 Light Bomber) was a light bomber produced in Japan in the mid-1920s to equip the Imperial Japanese Army. It was developed in parallel to the 2MB2 but while that aircraft featured an innovative and unorthodox design the 2MB1 was a more conservative approach based closely on the 2MT carrier-based torpedo bomber that was already in production for the Imperial Japanese Navy.
