Pearl Harbor flight featuring the PoF Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero 

Correction : Horikoshi Jiro :) Did you see the movie "The Wind Rises"?

@@mop09drg it was the first anime(which I knew was an anime), that I ever watched

もし堀越二郎がこの動画を見れば、現代日本人が自分達の手で自国の戦闘機の動態保存も出来ない有様に愕然ととして大きな失望感にうな垂れるだろう。

Yes i hope so too, everyone loves japan, beautiful country.

僕は10年かん日本に住んでいました。 仙台、札幌、東京。きれいな国だとう思います.

Not while communism still exists.

わかった👍

Incredible piece of History. Amazing. I cannot imagine the countless hours weeks months and years that were poured into these fine aircraft. Much Respect.

roger dildeau. I live not too far frome a zero that still fly's.

flying fox wing where is it at?

I absolutely agree

roger dildeau a Japanese man who really loved airplane, Jiro Horikoshi, made this plane. I think Zero is his treasure. Fool the War, War is terrible. If he lives in now, he must be an amazing airplane engineer.

As far as asthetics go, the ki-43 is my favourite, but if I was to be able to own any aircraft, my top 5 would be: a6m2, n1k2, f14, fw190, and an L2D (Japanese dc3)

@@danielkey929 the spitfire wasn't made to look fancy. How many allied dick riders am I going to have to tell that to today. Jesus christ man

@Craig Wooldridge It is a masterpiece, in terms of overall engineering. And it is probably the only fearful weapon that held advantages to U.S. counterpart, even only for one year or so. Even Yamato class can't campare with it, IMO.

​@Craig Wooldridge I did answer that. Zero fighters are in their best shape when given birth. The designers successfully put all the resources they had together to achieve a specific goal, and scored quite a bit, THAT, makes it a masterpiece. The armor thing, among others, is its major weakness (it is part of the trade-off when you don't have a powerful engine, and everybody knew it), so what, nobody said it's perfect right? Venus de Milo is handicapped but still, masterpiece, no doubt.

@Craig Wooldridge I'm sorry I don't have a degree of English literature, apparently I need that to be able to talk to you. But I do hold a bachelor degree in Aircraft Design and Engineering in China. So I guess I'm playing dumb only.

​@Craig Wooldridge First of all, the designers are not allergic to large engines, they simply can't have it (build or import). Then, if like your way of design, they would probably end up with an IJN version of P-40 and get ass kicked even harder in the Pacific Ocean (probably not true because with P-40 they won't dire to plan Pearl Harbor due to speed and range). Instead, they had a strategic mind, invest in the essence of dogfight and made well-calculated trade-offs and utilize what they had really well. The results proved well. That's why I call it a masterpiece. If their industry could supply later models like A7M or N1K1 (which did include your safety measure), the whole story looks pretty reasonable. At last, it is a matter of opinion. I won't try to convince you if you think otherwise. Zero's nemesis F6F outperform it in almost every way, I still don't think it is a masterpiece, because it is privileged as a later model and, uglier.

​@Craig Wooldridge Again, you're free to think otherwise. Clearly, your "masterpiece" in mind is "who won" and that's fine.

They put up a good fight. 😁

Dr. Lareme Thanks for the great information! I was wondering about the engine!

How can you tell?

G P the sound

The Pratt & Whitney engine was heavier but also had slighty more power than the Sakae Engine.

I was wondering if the Sakae radial was a derivative of the Wright engine. Wasn't Japan building Wright radials under license before the war?

Thank you for your opinion from Japan!

Nothing but toilet trash we proved that we won USA USA USA USA

@@rickzombie1 you sound immature and ignorant af. The zero dominated the skies over the Pacific until 1943. It had no equal until then. Shut your ass up

rickzombie1 Lmao, you fucktard. Japan fought their ass off the war and the U.S. cowardly dropped two atomic bombs on civilian cities.

はじめまして

Kawaii. very Kawaii.

Cool stuff !

mitsubishi did it

If it did a head on attack with any other plane. Well it wouldn't even exist in the competition.

Float carburetor, ultra thin plating, mechanical lever controls with no hydraulics help, and no self sealing tanks it would probably called as a flying coffin too

Yes it was in the beginning, but it got trounced later: ie; Marriannas Turkey Shoot!

@@nauuwgtx Mariannas Turkey Shoot where many a zero met its watery grave! Hell cats, P38s, Corsairs! No chance for the obsolescent zero!

Verdade esses aviões são muitos bom

I can see that. At first, the Zero ruled the skies, but with no armor or self sealing tanks and no bullet proof windshield, to save weight, that came to a end and the Japanese was unable to update it's war materials, same as with Germany! Everything was for the top and a quick victory, and we all know that works out, as in the Civil War for example! Every war starts out with the idea that we will be home by harvest! It seldom works that way!

The Zero was good for its time. But , Germany and Japan had problems in fighting a attritional war. Similar thing that happened to the Confederates in the American Civil War in that a great amount of resources are needed to fight a war in duration otherwise the industrial , and financial might will be victorious!

The Ki-84 and the N1K were much better combat aircraft. Decent protection and handling, good firepower and a higher top speed.

YOU DONT DESERVE HITLERS CANIE6

The speed isnt that great but still a really beutiful aircraft!

@@negita3267 compare with other ww2 plane zero is really fast

P-51 is faster

その通りです。

Steffen M. Don't forget to listen to the sound of the Fokker Wulf 190's where some of them had a BMW 18 Zylinder Engine.

Individual exhaust stacks versus ring collector on Twin Wasp-engined examples.

Which original-engined Zero? The A6M3 one? Or the A6M5?

SoundMaster 391 Thanks man :)

The other versions up to the A6M4 had a collector ring and two stacks on the bottom of the engine cowling and had a much different sound.

Michael Wittmann bro what his comment came out a year ago

@@michaelwittmann3602 bruh just because he said that plane which happens to be in the game doesn't mean he happens to say that because of the game. Guess who's the noob now?

i often wonder how the P40 would have performed if fitted with a Packard or Rolls Merlin engine ?

@@ianballinger7644 the p40f had a packard rolls royce merlin. It did help with high altitude performance, but not enough to replace the Allison.
