BD – Wings of legend T2 Mitsubishi Zero

Although outclassed by its rivals, the Japanese Zero occupies a special place in the Pantheon of World War II fighter planes. The first Western pilots who had to test themselves against this fighter were Claire Lee Chennault’s Flying Tigers, in 1940. But at that time China was far away and the USA did not want to enter the world conflict. Chennault’s reports on the quality of the Zero did not impress the USAF General Staff.

From December 1941, it is clear that things will change. We will have to wait for the Americans to recover the crash of Zero, in the Aleutian islands, and analyze it, to reveal its secrets.

This is the story that Jean-Pierre Pécau and Christophe Gibelin tell in this second edition of the series ” Wings of legend » dedicated to Mitsubishi Zero. This series designed by Delcourt and launched by Spitfire, features the Warbirds collection from Editions Soleil which already includes three albums: B-25 Mitchell, Stuka and Polikarpov I-16. We’ll take it for granted that for now, the two series complement each other, without stepping on each other’s toes… to the delight of readers.
