The A6M Jap Zero is one of the most
famous of the Japanese airplanes. This Japanese aircraft is one that
attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec 7th, 1941. This aircraft is one of the
historic airplanes and would be a great addition to your historic airplane
collections. These Japanese airplanes out climbed, out gunned and
out maneuvered the American aircraft. However, the Jap Zero was built
to be very light and agile. To do this they didn't put self sealing
tanks, armor around the tanks, pilot or engine and didn't build the aircraft
to withstand the maximum aerodynamic forces. This made the Zeros
very easy to shoot down, as many American Pilots attest. One famous
battle was the Marianas Turkey Shoot. This plane is most commonly
called the Jap Zero.

wars in history. This kind of art gave pride to the citizens of
those countries who produced it and gave a unity in support of the
wars. This exhibit is an excellent example of Japanese Propaganda
art.
