That she is. I think this is the first color photo I ever saw of one in flight.

Re: Fighters On The Wing

I wanted to post a few Japanese planes here, but I lack any real knowledge on them so if anyone would like to make a correction or expand on a designation please, be my guest.




An A6M2 Zero




Zero




A Zeke




And another A6M2 Zero

Re: Fighters On The Wing

For a starter so Zero n' Zeke is the same. Zeke was the original US name on the Mitsubishi A6M2.

Re: Fighters On The Wing

So, a Zeke is a Zero?

Re: Fighters On The Wing

Not a very good picture, but there's not much out there of it in flight. The Me 163 Komet, very early in takeoff (hasn't begun it's screaming near verticle climb yet).
