before WWI, but fighter planes developed in early WWI.
Why was Hiroshima a turning point for World War 2?
Because after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nakasaki, Japan finally surrendered. This ended the war in the Pacific Theater and because the war in Europe had already ended, WWII had ended entirely.AnswerIt wasn't. It was the ending point of the war, not the turning point. Another stabLtCol Jimmy Doolittle's raid on the Japanese homeland in April, 1942, demonstrated to the Japanese that their homeland was vulnerable. It was more of a moral victory than a military one, but many believe that this bombing raid forced the Japanese to accept the fact that they were not invincible and to take on a more defensive strategy in the war. I'm not sure this was a "turning point" per se in the war, but it was certainly a significant turn of events.

What were Japanese warplanes in World War 2?
Japanese Aviation Technology was far more advanced than the United States Military understood, despite battle reports from the American Volunteer Group fighting for Nationalist Chinese. The AVG made early reports reguarding the A6M2 Zero fighter and its abilities in combat. Japanese Aircraft design was guided by the nature of the environment in which it was designed to operate. Long ranges over vast areas of ocean required large fuel tanks, which required lightweight designs. Bombers were essentially strategic in all respects except payload and few if any allied aircraft could equal them in the early stages of the war. Japanese fighter aircraft were built to the same specifications, and were capable of great range and performance. No allied aircraft could match them in these areas for the first few years of combat.Japanese pilots were trained in an extensive and brutal manner over a period of years. They were exceptional and virtually unmatched in skill and training anywhere in the world. However, their numbers were small...very small, and the Japanese had no reserves to speak of. Once the prime aircrews were lost to various disasters there became a huge void in skilled combat pilots. No matter the number of aircraft produced after these losses, or the level of superiority in technology, the undertrained replacement aircrews could not hope to cope with over-whelming numbers of highly trained and motivated allied aircrews who flew ever increasingly superior aircraft. The situation for Japan was hopeless against the industrial might of the United States.
Were P-51 mustangs used at Pearl Harbor?
first answer: No. There were no P-51 mustangs used at Pearl Harbor. Early in the war, the Japanese Zero was far superior to any fighter airplane the Americans had. It was not superior to the British Spitfire but Americans did not have the Spitfire. It was not until the Hellcat fighter (F6) that the Americans had a plane equal to the Zero. second more correct answer: The P-51B Mustang did not enter Service until May 1943, and the earlier Allison-engine P-51A & A-36A Apache entered service in 1942. As to the superiority of the Zero: It was excellent a turning at low speeds & climbed very well. The Japanese pilots used these strengths to defeat many types of aircraft in the early months of the war. The Zero had excellent long range capabilities. The Spitfire was not necessarily superior to the Zero. The Spitfire nor any Allied aircraft could out-urn the Zero at slow speeds. The Spitfire would have to maintain speeds up around 300 MPH or more to out-turn the Zero. The Zero could out-roll the Spitfire. Also the Zero could out-climb the Spitfire, but the Spitfire could out dive the zero. Early versions of the Spitfire & Zero lacked the firepower that American fighters had. The earliest Zero versions had no armor or self-sealing fuel tanks. American & British fighters as of early 1942 had both. A major problem for the Spitfire & all British fighters was their lack of combat range compared to American & Japanese aircraft of all types. If an Allied fighter pilot wanted to defeat the Japanese Zero, Oscar, Nate, Claude or Rufe, then the Allied pilot needed to avoid turning at speeds under 250-300 mph, and keep his speed up. Usually the Allied fighter could out-run them in level flight & out-dive them. The best tactic was diving on the Japanese from higher altitude, shoot, keep up the high speed, go straight, then zoom-climb up above the Japanese, and come around for another diving pass. This was the technique perfected by American pilots flying the P-40 in China as part of the Flying Tigers against the Nate & Oscar. The British fighter aircraft were not as good at that type of technique as the American fighters either in Europe or Asia, If you got caught in a turning combat with a Japanese fighter, then usually it was best to corkscrew downwards to gain speed enough that the Japanese turning advantage was lost. A good pilot has to understand the strengths & weaknesses of his aircraft & the enemy aircraft. This is the most important factor in air combat.
