• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Landing a Zero on the Akagi

A couple silly mistakes in making the video:
The aircraft is a A6M5 which was not operational until 1943, well after the Akagi had gone down in mid 1942.
The camouflage pattern is from very late in the war. During the service of Akagi, the A6M2 Model 21 were painted in Ame-iro without a IFF stripe on the leading edge of the wing.
Markings are obviously not the Akagi's Air Group.

Ivan, I had many of the same general thoughts that you shared, but you certainly have a more detailed view of things. 🙂
