Mitsubishi A6M Reisen Zero vol. II

Mitsubishi A6M Reisen Zero vol. II — a volume from the Kagero series

This is a printed publication from the Kagero book series, focused on the Japanese carrier-based Mitsubishi A6M fighter. Alongside the factory designation the name gives both of its common appellations, the Japanese short form Reisen and the internationally established Zero, and with the designation vol. II it joins the continuing volumes of the topic.

The real subject the name carries

The A6M was a single-seat carrier-based fighter of all-metal construction with retractable landing gear and an air-cooled radial engine. Its design rested on combining a light airframe with a large fuel load, which gave it unusual range for its day along with excellent agility. It was built in several successive production versions that differed in engine, in the shape of the wingtips and in armament, so the differences between individual models of the same type are noticeable.

Who to recommend it to

• Modelers who build one of the A6M versions and want to find their way among them.
• Collectors of the Kagero series.
• Readers interested in Japanese naval aviation and in carrier-based fighters.
• Anyone who prefers a printed publication on a single type.
