Mitsubishi Zero
The
Mitsubishi Zero was considered to be the most capable carrier-based
fighter aircraft in the world when it first entered combat in 1940. Its
superior capabilities were in part due to its amazingly light weight
that made it one of the fastest, most maneuverable and one of the
longest-ranged single-engine fighter aircraft of World War II. However,
that tradeoff in weight was at the price of not having self-sealing fuel
tanks which made it prone to catching fire and exploding when struck by
enemy fire, and no armor protection for either the pilot or the engine.
