Infamous WWII Fighter Joins the Fleet In Original Livery
The Military Aviation Museum announced its acquisition of a rare, well-kept Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero restored by Legend Flyers in Everett, Washington. The particular Zero, c/n 3148, sports a khaki paint scheme just like it had during its wartime release in 1942. Most particular is the unusually wordy subheading underneath its tail number, which indicated that the aircraft was sponsored by middle schoolers in occupied Manchuria before deploying to the 252nd Kokutai.
