was checking out jim wright (of helicopter fame) and his h1 site.

well long story short during the construction of the h1 they came to the conclusion the japanese zero is a copy from h1 planes.

here is link to their forum.

hell looks to me like they have proof.

drops match and runs like hell.<-----------

TOWD...they are full of it. The planes dont even look alike. How can you say that because they are both radial low wing AC with retractable landing gear one is based on the other? From the stand point of someone who knows a little about ww2 AC they are not even simular.

Allow me to be the first.

Kurt Tank designed the Zeke.
