The ZERO was the main Japanese fighter plane during world war two, for both the Navy and Air Force.
In World War II the Axis powers turned their airplanes into weapons during Kamikaze missions. The Japanese are the most famous for this. Kamikaze missions were suicide missions, so the pilots flew to a target and aimed their plane to the ground and BOOM. Kamikaze missions were also prevalent in sea battles where one plane could take out an entire ship.

i saw a crashed Japanese fighter plane when i was visiting Hawaii, on Oahu. There is a park with a cliff, sometimes called suicide cliff or lovers leap (something like that). I walked along the path, then followed a stream up almost 1/2 mile - then saw the downed plane parts. Very cool, do not know how many people are aware of it. But that is one place to look. Has anyone else seen it? carcare@pcnet911.com
