Nakajima B5N1 "Kate" torpedo bomber, Aichi D3A "Val" dive bomber, and Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter.
The longest range fighter of WWII (until the war was nearly half over); the A6M Zero.
The Mitsubishi A6M or Zero had a speed of 330 mph at 15,000 feet altitude. It could exceed that speed by as much as 80 mph, but because of the brittle nature of the aluminum made at that time, any speeds above 400 mph could result in self destruction of the aircraft.
The A6M Zero was designed by Jiro Horikoshi, built by Mitsubishi, and entered service with the Japanese Imperial NAVY in 1940. The last digit, the number "0", was named for the airplane, the "Zero". It was armed with two 7.7mm machinguns and two 20mm cannons. Cockpit body armor & self sealing fuel tanks were omitted in order to give the aircraft a lighter weight, enabling LONGER RANGE; which was approximately 2,000 miles.

The A6M had the longest range (nearly 2,000 miles), so the Hellcat could run out of gas and crash into the sea if the pilot is inexperienced. That aside, Grumman designed the F6F specifically to kill the A6M Zero. The Hellcat had 6 fiftys and was built like a tank! It had the horse power and speed of an assassin. The Hellcat would kill the A6M, unless the Zero had a good pilot (like Sakai).
If you mean the Mitsibishi A6M, the common models had about 1,000 hp.
Suburo Sakai scored 64 aerial victories flying an A6M Zero during WWII.
