This is an original A6M5 Zero with the original Sakae engine. It's owned by Planes of Fame in Chino, California. There are two other flying Zero's in the world, both in the U.S. but they don't have the original engines.

@rinjingan ... No it had an american engine (earlier ) and then it had an american reproduction of the merlin.....

@199popopo Thank you. That's really cool. You Japanese do know how to blend tradition, expertise and -- why not? -- a great sense of style. My father would always tell me tales about the War and he told me about the Zero and the Japanese pilots, the honor and the bravery. He passed away last year but he would've loved to see this video and read about the origin of the aircraft's name.

This plane was adopted by Japanese Navy (now it's JMSDF) in 1940 and that year was also the 2600th anniversary of the 1st Tennou's (Japanese Emperor) accession to the throne.
That's why this plane named ''Zero'' fighter.

I don't know why but out of all non-US aircraft involved in WW2 my favorite has always been the Zero. It was a remarkable fighter and i'm excited to see this aircraft. it's sad to think it's so rare compared to other fighters of the war now days.

@rinjingan actually packard built the merlin engines under license for the P-51 mustang, making them better than the british versions as well as mass-producible.

@seirodate 疾風の主桁は切断していませんよ。それは誤報です。輸送時には正
規の分割ポイント以外は加工していません。ただしエンジンにクラ ックがあり、別の意味でもはや修復不能です。 -
A beautiful restoration project. But why are the Hinamaru's blurred on the upper wings and Fuselage ?
