| Japanese Military Airplanes |
This page covers model airplanes of the Japanese Military Aircraft, both fighters and Bombers of World War 2.There are many Jap fighters and Jap bombers shown on this page. The A6M Japanese Zeros model airplanes of the Jap zeros showing Japanese airplanes at their best, the Jap zero was the most well know of all Japanese aircraft.The World War 2 A6M Jap Zero is one of the most famous of the Japanese airplanes. This Japanese zero military aircraft is one that attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec 7th, 1941. This aircraft is one of the historic airplanes and would be a great addition to your historic airplane collections. These Japanese airplanes out climbed, out gunned and out maneuvered the American fighter aircraft. However, the Jap Zero was built to be very light and agile. |
|
To do this the design didn't include self sealing tanks, armor around the tanks, armor around the pilot or engine and didn't build the aircraft to withstand the maximum aerodynamic forces. This made the Zeros very easy to shoot down, as many American Pilots attest. One famous battle was the Marianas Turkey Shoot. Another famous Japanese aircraft was a bomber known as the Betty Bomber. This was a medium, twin bomber used in many Japanese cap. Some planes were like the WW2 Japanese Jet Planes, the Baka Bomb. Please Note: The specifications on this page are only for a single model of this airplane. |
