<h4>Historical Information</h4>
The '''Mitsubishi A6M2''' '''''Type 0 Model 21 Carrier-based Fighter''''' is the initial production variant of the '''A6M ''Type 0 Carrier-based Fighter '''''(also called ''Rei-sen'', but more commonly "''Zero-sen''", with the Allied reporting name "''Zeke''"), the predominant Japanese naval fighter of World War II. The ''0'' in its designation referred to the last digit of Imperial year 2600 (Gregorian year 1940) which it entered service. When encountered, it was codenamed ''Zeke'', but eventually "Zero" became commonplace in Allied speaking.

When encountered, it was codenamed ''Zeke'', but eventually "Zero" became commonplace in Allied speaking.
When powerful Allied aircraft such as the P-38 ''Lightning'', F6F ''Hellcat'' and F4U ''Corsair'' were fielded, the A6M - with its low powered engine - had difficulty competing. Regardless, it was developed further into variants such as the [[Type 52 Zero Fighter|A6M5 Type 0 Model 52]] and [[Type 62 Zero Fighter-bomber|A6M7 Type 0 Model 62]]. The Zero was believed to be a copy of Vought's V-143 fighter, but ultimately such claims were discredited.
