At that time, the 96 type battleplan that 3 water chestnut companies of Japanese produce has gained a success, the blemish on speed of Dan Fei travel, made Japanese navy very fast start new-style carrier-borne battleplan to develop a plan.
Japan is naval to two Japan's biggest at that time airline 3 water chestnut are mixed in the island undertakes invite public bidding, ask new carrier-borne battleplan wants to have the speed per hour of 500 kilometers, range of 3000 kilometers above, machine of 2 20 millimeter equips at least in the meantime prepare Chinese medicine by roasting it in a panbig gun, 2 hold out equipment of machine gun and communication of a radio.
Insular company be afraid of difficulty exits competition in, company of 3 water chestnut appoints 96 type stylist to assume this job, made an archetypal machine A6M1 1939, the 2nd year, improve model A6M2 test-fly. Because was used can receive canopy of type of the landing gear that put type, complete bleb, can abandon auxiliary tank and electric heat flight are taken etc initiate sexual technology, japanese naval be overjoyed.
In July 1942, 15 A6M2 that just step down product line were made up two squadron, will be in the Japan of Chinese Chinese mouth group of naval combination aviation, undertake be invadinged Babylonly China war. Because be worth Japanese a way of counting the years 2600, to mark this one time, the Japanese army names his formally for " battleplan of carrier-borne of 0 " type.
At first, 0 " type presses advanced " completely the allied country opportunity for combat that poured the range weak point such as flower beauty, maneuverability difference, firepower to lose, in invade China war and initial stage of Pacific Ocean war are rampant temporarily. 1940, "A few 0 " form is short the month allows Chinese air force and Russia hold China loss of volunteer aviation group is close 100 opportunity for combat.

Headache in the U.S. Army unceasingly when, the crash after battleplan of 0 " type gets shot is in a " A Liushen archipelago. U.S. Army navy stands be about to United States of its carry back. Technical personnel discovers, "The climb rate of 0 " type and range Yuanchao's U.S. Army and allied forces plane, rather low speed fistfight is as good as more at committing suicide.
But defect of 0 " type also exposed " , pursue range blindly, battleplan is decreased ceaselessly heavy, without armor, also do not have device of automatic put out a fire, should be hit only easy explosion, " of the lighter in making " air is more after incendiary of the armour that be worn hits the mark. In addition, "Performance of motor-driven of high speed of 0 " type is average, dive rate is too low also.
After this, u.S. Army air man was cast off gradually to " 0 " type is perplexed, together with is advanced battleplan equips in succession. On May 19, 1944, u.S.
