Very good pictures, SaburoS!

From what year is this A6M5? I am making the Okinawa map to SEA and CT and I'm now very intrested of Pacific Ocean War planes because of skinning. Was this Zero type there?

If you have any good pictures and information from Okinawa battle's planes, I shall be very pleased if you contact me:

ismo@kesalesket.net ;)

And have you seen the awesome air combat movies "1942" and "1945"? You find them there:

Sure is. They have the German Me163 also. Tough to get walk around shots though as they are "buried" in that hangar. Next time I am there, I'll try and get some shots. Maybe my next trip will be mid-May.
