ANSWER: The tail wheel belongs to a Mitsubishi A6M2 ZERO also known as a ZEKE. For All, The Allies' main opponent in the Pacific air war, the Zero is the most famous symbol of Japanese air power during WWII. The fighter first flew in April 1939, and Mitsubishi, Nakajima, Hitachi, and the Japanese navy produced 10,815 Zeros from 1940-45. Zeros were produced in greater numbers than any other Japanese aircraft. Its distinctive design and historical impact made the Zero an important machine in air power history. For Aviation Enthusiasts or those who'd just like to know a little more:) The A6M first saw combat in China in the late summer of 1940, and it quickly helped Japan dominate the air in Asia. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, 125 Zeros from six aircraft carriers participated. In the early part of the war, Allied aircraft such as the Curtiss P-40 and the Seversky P-35 were at a disadvantage in a dogfight with a Zero flown by a skilled pilot, and the A6M became a well known and dangerous opponent.
