Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft paint scheme Hnadbook : Zero Fighter
A famous aircraft representing the Japan Navy, the Zero type carrier-based fighter. This aircraft, which fought from the beginning of the war to the end of the war, has a large number of aircraft colors, unit number notation, and commander aircraft identification zones depending on the time of year and unit. This book covers almost all of the currently known paint examples of Zero fighter equipment units in the form of side views, and classifies them according to the unit classification of the Japan Naval Air Corps, such as the carrier aircraft fleet and the base air force. This book explains in detail not only the differences between Mitsubishi and Nakajima, but also the notation rules for aircraft numbers that vary depending on the unit.
