So here we go!
A little read about the aircraft itself:
The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was a long range Naval fighter aircraft that formed the backbone of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Air Arm throughout the Second World War. Blessed with exceptional manoeuvrability, as well as long range, the Zero proved to be the best carrier fighter aircraft in the World when it made its debut in China in 1940, and then again in the opening stages of the Pacific War against the United States. This -21 variant was the first to feature folding wingtips and proved to be the dominant fighter in the opening stages of the Pacific War over Pearl Harbor and the following battles.
This long range and maneuverability however had come at a price and the Zero featured almost no armor protection and was only lightly armed itself. As the air war over the Pacific intensified, the Zero found itself increasingly outclassed by its American adversaries, though in the hands of a skilled pilot, it could still be a deadly opponent.
By 1945, the Zero was still in widespread service and was used in the Kamikaze role in the closing stages of the Pacific War.
