How are old black and white photos colorized?  Does an artist fill them in?  Is the color somehow trapped in the black and white film?  Is it done by computer?

Those are not A6M5s.  No ejector stacks on the engines.  I know it says early production, but so far as I know the ejector stacks were one of the fundamental changes introduced with the A6M5.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Core of it is a known reference color. Digital method software used to colorize film or pictures relies on a common reference color to key the gray scale. From there it is the operator's eyeball while tweeking the converted grayscale to color results.

All of the photos above were colorized using Photoshop, not specialized software that rarely gets the colors right. Accuracy is dependent upon research, not default.

Fake.
There was no clolor in the world in 1942. I have tons of  photographic evidence for that.
