    The Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero Model 21 holds a significant place in aviation history, particularly due to its participation in the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Lt(jg) Shigehisa Yamamoto piloted this agile and highly maneuverable aircraft as part of the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service (IJNAS) flying from the aircraft carrier Akagi. The surprise assault on Pearl Harbor marked the beginning of the Pacific War, and the A6M Zero played a crucial role in achieving air superiority for the Japanese forces in the early stages of the conflict.
    Known for its exceptional range, speed, and agility, the A6M Zero was a formidable opponent in dogfights. Lt(jg) Shigehisa Yamamoto and his fellow pilots executed precision attacks during the raid, catching the U.S. Pacific Fleet off guard and causing extensive damage. The A6M2b Zero's contribution to the success of the Pearl Harbor attack solidified its place as one of the most iconic aircraft of World War II.
