   Mitsubishi A6M Zero ("A" - fighter, "6" - model, "M" - Mitsubishi) - Japanese light deck fighter of the Second World War. It was produced from 1940 to 1945, all in all 10,939 units were built. The A6M had technical superiority over Allied aircraft until early 1942, when the American forces began to arm themselves with the Lightnings, which could dictate the conditions of the fight, using their advantage in flight performance at high altitudes. In 1943, allied fighters outclassed the A6M in terms of firepower, armor and speed, and also reduced the lag in maneuverability. In 1944, A6M was finally outdated, but continued to be produced. During last months of the war it was used to attack kamikaze (a subside pilot).
