The Mitsubishi A6M5 is one of the best fighters in world war II. The Navy's Model 0 On-Board Fighter had no official name. Number 0 marks the end of year 2600 according to the Japanese calendar in which the aircraft was designed. Hence; the popular term Zero invented by the British began. The aircraft was designed by engineer Jiro Horikoshi in 1940 to order the Imperial Japanese Navy. The model was modified throughout the war.
The machine was characterized by high speed and manoeuvrability. These characteristics have been achieved at the expense of armour and self-sealing fuel tanks. Zero was armed with two 20 mm guns and two 77 mm machine guns synchronized with the propeller. The aircraft could also take two bombs weighing 30 or 60 kg. In the case of kamikaze suicide missions; the aircraft could take two bombs weighing 250 kg. It was not installed from an additional fuel tank at that time.
Throughout the war; Mitsubishi were on-board fighters of the Japanese navy. At the end of the war; the planes were used in kamikaze formations.
