零戦の最終的な量産型「零式艦上戦闘機52丙型」です。 武装及び防御力が強化されました。その分、若干機動性は失われています。 「八幡部隊」は、洋上の敵航空母艦への空襲による撃破を目指して編成され、硫黄島に進出した部隊です。 圧倒的な米艦載機の前に、対抗できず硫黄島にて壊滅しました。

''The "Zero Fighter Model 52C" was the last mass-produced variant of the Zero. Its armaments and armor have been upgraded in exchange for some mobility. The "Hachiman Squadron" was formed and deployed to Iwo Jima to attack and destroy enemy carriers from the air. Faced with overwhelming numbers of US carrier aircraft, it was destroyed without offering much resistance.

==Trivia==

The plane is from the 252 squadron which was originally based in the Solomons. They were veteran airmen who fought in the area until their numbers dwindled. They were then called back to the mainland and were reconstituted into a composite air group with other surviving air units. They were sent to fight in Iwo Jima and the last remnants were sent for special attack operations which led to the entire unit being wiped out.

The depicted plane is allegedly the A6M5c variant.
