Mitsubishi A6M5/ 5a Zero - Fighter (Zeke)

The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was the Japanese Navy's most important fighter aircraft during World War II.
In the second half of the war, the Model 22 was improved to create the Model 52 to counter new US aircraft such as the P-38 Lightning and F4U Corsair.
It had 50 cm shorter wings with rounded wing tips, single exhaust pipes and a top speed of 565 km/h.
The A6M5a was produced in February 1944 with a larger capacity ammunition supply (125 rounds).
The Model 52 was first used in the final phase of the Solomon Islands campaign in the fall of 1943 and subsequently fought in the air over the Solomon Islands, Mariana Islands, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and Japan itself until the end of the war.
