Mitsubishi A6M Zero YAMATO museum JMSDF Etajima Naval Base

[rwcbanzai]

@TayouJin Samurai Your so right, samurai armor was for arrows & well designed for sword combat due to manuervability. The Zero lost cause it didn't have self sealing gas tanks & lit up like a ronson lighter from tracer 50 caliber phosporus munitions. All technology to find weakness... ; )

Domo arigato, thx so much for sharing your Maritime Peaceful Museum. To bad, they didn't have a real A6m2 float plane like what was on the aft of that largest battleship in the world "Yamamoto". I got to touch a real Zero captured in the Aleutian islands & now in Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, CA. Curious, was that other plane a "Shoki"? I'm sorry I can't speak or read Nihonji & deeply apologize as a Gaijin Ainoku who had relatives on both sides who died in that crazy war. . ; )

I went to see A6M5 Zero '61-120' in Chino California in 2003. So nice to see one still in flying condition!

If you were struck by a proper swordsman Knedoshi , weilding a proper Katana , armour was about as good as a prayer...

[GESAVIOR]

An amazing machine.

When you think about the

Zero, Mustang, BF109's, FolkWolfs and you consider the time in history and periods resources its truely amazing. Im glad some exist still today.

@GESAVIOR

its not folk wolf, its Focke Wulf, if You want to insult the german builders...write:"fuck wolf" or "Messershit"...anyhow...I like the american and british build war-planes...they brought freedom to my family and the czech family of my wife

i love the looks of the plane but it's lacking some armour

ce musée doit être géniale!!:))5s

[nuk3m3vil]

lol Japanese in WW2 gave range and agility as their top priority for which they had to sacrifice pilot protection and plane toughness which made their planes extreamly vulnerable, but US gave pilot suviabilty the top priority making their fighters fast and tough, fast planes could engage and disengage at will controlling the fight, its a shame zero wasnt in control of fight and just waithing to get bounced!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) hahaha

[manugrancanaria]

bonito paseo por la historia

[krycha425]

Zeke was one of the best fighter to control by pilot at the time of wwII

よくこんなものが浮いたな

[rugersix]

That's a beautiful ZERO!

[nuk3m3vil]

its beautiful but fatal, a few hits in the cockpit pilot gets killed, a few hits in the fuel tank burn like a match box, few hits in the wing the wing falls apart, etc

[svinehunden]

so dont get hit...

I will be travelling to Okinawa before returning via Kyushu and Hiroshima this summer. I will be sure to visit this museum. By the way thats an A6M5c zero fighter evident from its dual wing armament (13.2mm MG and 20mm Cannon) and underwing bomb/rocket mounting racks.
