Zero fighter.

Reference : Asahi Weekly, June 18, 2017, “Japanese pilot flies Zero fighter build in 1942”

At the two-day Red Bull Air Race 2017 demonstration a Japanese aircraft, “Zero fighter” was flown by a Japanese pilot. This aircraft flew during World War 2. It seems these aircraft weren’t flown by the Japanese but occasionally by the Americans.

Zero fighter was the No.1 aircraft in the world until the beginning of World War 2. Iron Boards were removed from the plane to lighten the bodies. Their performance had fallen relatively particularly in terms of their defense with the appearance of the similar performance aircraft at the end of World War 2. It is remarkable that there are Zero fighter still flying today.
