81-161 (cn 4168) Built by Mitsubishi at Nagoya in 1943, this genuine Zero served in in Rabaul (Papua New Guinea). She was abandoned at the former airstrip after the war. In 1974 the fuselage and wings were recovered from Rabaul. Restoration lasted twenty years (1980-2000). Now preserved at the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo. |

NX46770 / 61-120 (cn 5357) The Planes of Fame Air Museum A6M5 Zero is the only fully authentic flyable example in the world. Restored to flying condition in June 1978, this Zero fighter is still powered by its original Nakajima Sakae 31 engine, a 14-cylinder radial that produces 1,200 h.p. Except for the absence of armament and a few minor equipment changes, this aircraft is essentially the same as it was when operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy during the war. |

81-161 (cn 4241) The Yasukuni museum, next to the controversial shrine, paints an eyebrow-raising picture of Japan's role in World War II. This Zero was built in Nagoya in late 1943. It served in Rabaul where it was abandoned in 1945 |

I have been unable to discover the exact identity of the Mitsubishi Zero fuselage section. Some say it is one of the three Japanese aircraft captured during WW2, with the ATAIU ("Allied Technical Air Intelligence Unit") markings applied by the RAF. Others say it is a replica of the genuine cockpit section on display in the Imperial War Museum London (see photoid 484434). |

This is a Nakajima-built Mitsubishi Zero (A6M5). Its exact identity is unknown. It was captured during the war, and ATAIU ("Allied Technical Air Intelligence Unit") markings applied by the RAF in Malaysia. It, along with three other Japanese aircraft ended up at Tebrau, and was then transported to Britain after the war, arriving in 1947. The central fuselage section is here in the Imperial War Museum and curiously its engine is on display at Cosford. |
