Without a doubt the A6M2B Mitsubishi Zero fighter was the most famous Japanese singe seat fighter of WWII and of all time. The 925hp A6M2B first flew on January 10, 1940. Later improvements raised the horsepower to 1,130 - good for 326mph. A6s had 2 20mm cannons in the wings and 3 13.2mm machine gunes and 2 132lb rockets.
First flown in April, 1939, the A6M Zero-Sen was the Allies’ main opponent in the Pacific and the most famous symbol of Japanese air power during World War II. This carrier-based fighter, designed with a low-monoplane wing and armed with a formidable array of two 20mm cannons and two 7.7mm machine guns, proved capable of handling any of the Allies’ aircraft. It wasn’t until the Allies studied a captured Zero that they were able to identify and exploit weaknesses such as minimal pilot and fuel tank protection. Zeros became infamous for Kamikaze attacks, in which pilots would intentionally crash explosion-laden aircraft into Allied ships. © Copyright 2003-2009 The Flying Mule, Inc.
