The Mitsubishi A6M dominated the skies over the Pacific in the early years of World War II. Called the Type O or Zero-sen by the Japanese and 'Zeke' by the Allies, the A6M was designed to meet a Imperial Japanese Navy requirement for a replacement for the Mitsubishi A5M. |
The prototype first flew in 1939. Zero fighters guaranteed air superiority for the Japanese at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. By 1943 Allied fighters had gained supremacy. |
