IN ENEMY HANDS: NUMBER 29
Mitsubishi A6M5, Model 52b being tested and evaluated by US forces. The zero was armed with
2 x 20mm cannons and 2 x 7.7mm machine guns.
Later models were up gunned with 2 x 13mm machine guns in the wings, along with the 2 x 20mm cannons and 1 x 13mm machine gun in the cowling.
The zero in file photo, was captured at Clark Field, Philippines, Clark Field became a Treasure Trove of abandoned Japanese aircraft, many were made airworthy test flown and evaluated. Other zeros were captured during the war, some rebuilt from wrecks to make one airworthy for tests. Others were later captured on Saipan and later shipped to the USA.
