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 enemy plane was called a "Zero" because it was the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, a Japanese fighter aircraft used during World War II. The name "Zero" comes from its official designation, A6M, where the "6" indicates it was the sixth design by Mitsubishi, and "Zero" refers to the year 2600 in the Japanese calendar, which corresponds to 1940 in the Gregorian calendar when the aircraft was adopted. Renowned for its exceptional maneuverability and range, the Zero became a symbol of Japanese air power in the early years of the war.
