The ZERO was the main Japanese fighter plane during world war two, for both the Navy and Air Force.
"Johnny Got a Zero" was a World War II song promoting the notion that a man who had no abilities in school as a boy could become a hero in manhood. "Zeroes" were the primary Japanese fighter planes at the outset of WWII.
England during the 1st and 2nd world wars needed rapid fighter planes to shoot down the enemies bombers and to dual with the enemies fighter planes.
The second generation of fighter planes were jet fighters with no missiles or complicated avionics.
A group of fighter plans (and bomber planes) is called a squadron. The size can be four or six planes to a squadron and there is a squadron leader.

The Zero was a type of Japanese fighter plane, the Mitsubishi A6-M. It was fast and nimble, and heavily armed. At the start of the war it was better than the fighter planes the Allies had. But, it lacked any armor for the pilot or self-sealing fuel tanks, which made it vulnerable. By the end of the war the newer Allied fighter planes were better than the Zero.
Only if you are obsessed with fighter planes.
They have an air force. The planes they have are American made fighter jets and Saudi pilots are trained by the American Air Force/services.

Japanese fighter planes. Also a slang term for "officers". Desiree--The Zeroes were Japanese fighter planes. Our US P47s--P52s and P38s engaged them in dog fights during the war in the Pacific. While I was involved in the Battle for Okinawa I witnessed many of these dog fights in the sky over the Island. Also when our U.S. fighter planes returned from escorting our U.S. Bombers over Japan anytime one of our fighter planes was credited with a Zero kill they were allowed to put their fighter plane through aerobatics over the Island before landing. This was really something to witness. == I think the first answer is accurate. There was one Japanese fighter aircraft that was designated the Zero; the MITSUBISHI A6M2. The Zero got its name from its official designation, Navy Type Zero Carrier-Based Fighter (or Reisen), though the Allies code-named it "Zeke." However, the term was used generally to describe any Japanese fighter plane as many of their aircraft looked very similiar. (I'm not sure about the officer part of the answer.) http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=471 == The zero (Zero) was one of the most successful fighter pilots of the Japanese Navy in the first half of the war. They seriously outmaneuvered every other aircraft at the time. Only at the end of 1942 and from 1943 that the US managed to counter the Zero with F4U Corsairs, F6F Hellcats, etc.
Eternal Fighter Zero happened in 2001.

High-speed fighter planes have aerofoil-shaped wings.
A fighter plane in world war 2 is much like what a modern fighter plane is today. These planes are aircraft designed with the intention of shooting down other planes. Planes like the American P-51 Mustang, German ME-109 and Japanese Zero were designed to be as fast and maneuverable as possible while having offensive weapons like machine guns and armor to protect the pilot. They would fly missions to take control of the sky by shooting down the enemies planes.
Eternal Fighter Zero was created on 2001-12-30.
