To those who know their history lessons, the most feared and respected fighter plane in the World War II was the Japanese Zero. The Allies feared flying in the skies when they know the Zeroes are around. It even took awhile before Allied Forces found a solution to beat the Zeros using their aircraft’s armor and diving speed.

What others don’t know is that the notorious Japanese Zero is actually called, the Mitsubishi A6M. That’s right, Mitsubishi manufactured the feared Zero. This is a testament to the quality and performance of Mitsubishi products.
