When the Japanese Zero first entered service in 1940,
it was without doubt the most advanced naval fighter in the world and
quickly earned a reputation as a ruthless dogfighter. In early
engagements, the Zero proved so effective that pilots were able to post
an almost unbelievable victory ratio of 12 to 1 against their
adversaries.
As the Wehrmacht began its march across Europe in 1940, little
attention was being given to developments in the Far East. Following
years of re-arming and upgrading, the Japanese Navy could boast some of
the most advanced naval aircraft in the world within its inventory,
including the superb Mitsubishi A6M Zero. This long range Naval fighter
would be at the forefront of Japan’s expansionist ambitions throughout
WWII and in the early war years, proved to be unequalled in the Pacific
region.
Possessing exceptional manoeuvrability, the Zero quickly earned a
reputation as a dogfighter and Allied pilots quickly learned to avoid a
slow, turning fight with this beautifully balanced aircraft. As the
fighter aircraft to beat in the Pacific, American pilots soon developed
tactics that avoided playing into the hands of the Zero and began to
score victories. As newer fighters began to enter service, the A6M Zero
began to show its weaknesses, which were a lack of armour protection for
the pilot and no self-sealing fuel tanks in the wing. Using their ‘boom
and zoom’ hit and run tactics, the Americans finally began to get the
measure of the feared Zero.
