Book Synopsis F4F Wildcat vs A6M Zero-sen by : Edward M. Young
Download or read book F4F Wildcat vs A6M Zero-sen written by Edward M. Young and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Grumman F4F Wildcat and the Mitsubishi A6M Zero-sen were contemporaries, although designed to very different requirements. The Wildcat, ruggedly built to survive the rigors of carrier operations, was the best carrier fighter the US Navy had available when the USA entered World War II, and it remained the principal fighter for the US Navy and the US Marine Corps until 1942–43. With a speed greater than 300mph, exceptional manoeuvrability, long range, and an impressive armament the slick Zero-sen could out-perform any Allied fighter in 1941–42. The battles between the Wildcat and the Zero-sen during 1942 represent a classic duel in which pilots flying a nominally inferior fighter successfully developed air-combat tactics that negated the strengths of their opponent.

Download or read book Mitsubishi Zero written by Peter C. Smith and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2014-11-30 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the Japanese aircraft, “illustrated by well reproduced black and white photographs” details the plane’s impressive WWII aviation record. (Aviation News) The Mitsubishi Zero is one of the greatest fighter aircraft ever to have graced the skies. Symbolic of the might of Imperial Japan, she represented a peak of developmental prowess in the field of aviation during the early years of the Second World War. Engineered with maneuverability in mind, this lightweight, stripped-back aircraft had a performance that left her opponents totally outclassed. The dogfights this aircraft engaged in with the Chinese, British, Dutch and American warplanes in the 1941-42 period are the stuff of aviation legend. The Zero remained a potent threat until the end of the war, not least in her final role, that of a Kamikaze plane, in which she created as much havoc on the sea as she had done earlier in the air. Peter C. Smith takes the reader on a journey from inspired inception to the blazing termination of this unique aircraft, the first Naval fighter to be superior to land-based aircraft. Mitsubishi Zero describes in detail the many victories that punctuated the early days of the plane’s operational career as well as the final days of the Second World War which witnessed her demise. Smith also lists the preserved Zero aircraft on display today. This is a fast-paced and fascinating history of a fighter aircraft like no other.

Book Synopsis Imperial Japanese Navy Aces 1937–45 by : Henry Sakaida
Download or read book Imperial Japanese Navy Aces 1937–45 written by Henry Sakaida and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-10-20 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The outcome of the Pacific War was heavily influenced by the results of naval battles between the Imperial Japanese fleet and the US Navy. One of the key elements was Japan's large fighter component, which had gained experience over Manchuria, China and Mongolia in the late 1930s. Flying A5Ms, at least 21 pilots achieved 'acedom' securing air superiority for the invaders. Manufacturer Mitsubishi derived much from these campaigns, producing one of the best fighters of the War, the A6M Zero-Sen. Navy pilots proved to be highly skilled when engaged by the Allied forces. This volume tells the story of pilots like Nishizawa, Sagita and Sakai, scoring more than 60 kills apiece.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The A6M Rei Shiki Sento Ki (meaning Type Zero fighter) was the result of an order by the Imperial Japanese Navy for a low-wing monoplane with superior speed, range, climbing powers, and manoeuvrability. It famously served as a fighter escort during the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, and ended the war as the kamikaze plane of choice. This book provides a detailed guide to modelling this popular aircraft across a variety of scales, and features an A6M2-N Rufe, a kamikaze A6M5c, an A6M2 model 21, and a captured A6M5b of TAIC #7, as well as a gallery and walkaround section.

Book Synopsis A6M Zero Mitsubishi by : Robert Jackson
Download or read book A6M Zero Mitsubishi written by Robert Jackson and published by Air World. This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This detailed study of Japan’s fearsome WWII fighter covers its legendary combat career along with color images and technical information. The quality of Japan’s Mitsubishi A6M Zero shocked Allies Forces at the outbreak of the Pacific War. Armed with two 20mm cannon and two 7.7mm machine-guns, it was highly maneuverable and structurally very strong, despite being lightweight. When it first took flight in 1939, it was far superior to any other fighter in the skies. During the first months of the Pacific War, the Zeros carved out an impressive combat record. For example, in the battle for Java alone, they destroyed 550 Allied aircraft. But it eventually outclassed by American fighters such as the Grumman F6F Wildcat and Vought Corsair. In the latter months, many were fitted with bombs and expended in Kamikaze suicide attacks. This book provides a detailed overview of the design and combat career of a fighter that made history. Ideal for modelers and military history enthusiasts, it offers a wealth of technical information, photographs and color profiles.

Download or read book Fighter Zero written by Mantelli - Brown - Kittel - Graf and published by Edizioni R.E.I.. This book was released on 2017-03-05 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the attack on Pearl Harbor to the last desperate defense in the face of massive Allied bombings and suicide attacks against the enemy squadrons, the Mitsubishi A6M Reisen (baptized "Rei-sen", ie hunting zero with reference to the year 2600 calendar Japanese, 1940 AD) took part in almost all major actions of naval Japanese. Its fabulous maneuverability and its exceptional autonomy were legendary, and made the Zero symbol of air power of the Rising Sun, as to make it as famous as the Spitfire or Bf. 109. Zero earned fame with a series of brilliant victories against all allied aircraft in the first months of the war in the Pacific, and since he found difficulty Japanese Navy to commission another modern fighter capable of competing with the new Allied aircraft that appeared in the Pacific towards the end of 1942, the Mitsubishi A6M had to endure in large part the weight of the operations until the end of the conflict. For Japan, the Zero was, in fact, much more than an airplane, but the symbol of the Empire air power; for the Allies was much more of a relentless opponent but a nightmare, and at the same time a myth. For a long time were the virtues attributed largely imaginary, since its unique and indisputable qualities were exceptional maneuverability and an equally exceptional autonomy. The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was one of those planes that could not raise more mixed reviews, now ignored, feared now, finally, ridiculed, and then again taken into consideration, mythologized, analyzed critically, overrated, underrated, and so on seamless. When hostilities began with the outbreak of World War II, the Zero was considered the best fighter in the world based on aircraft carriers, because they associated an excellent maneuverability granted very extensive. In the first air combat, the Zero gained a legendary reputation, but in 1942 the new combat tactics enabled the Allied pilots to engage in duels more balanced terms.
