Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero

Series 1 aircraft - new scheme

The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was a long range Naval fighter aircraft that formed the backbone of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Air Arm throughout WWII.  Blessed with exceptional manoeuvrability, as well as long range, the Zero proved to be the best carrier fighter aircraft in the World when it made its debut in China in 1940, and then again in the opening stages of the Pacific War against the United States.

This fighter marked the beginning of a new era in naval aviation and was the first shipboard fighter capable of outperforming land-based aircraft.  With its tight turning radius, it was an extremely deadly weapon in a dogfight.
