The
Mitsubishi A5-M was the primary carrier based fighter of the Imperial
Japanese Navy throughout the Sino-Japanese war. It was the
Navy’s first monoplane fighter, and one of the first all-metal
stressed-skin aircraft built in Japan. It demonstrated excellent
speed and maneuverability. Over Nanking in December 1937, A5M
pilots destroyed ten Chinese I-16B fighters for no Japanese loss.
It was produced in four models, A5M1 to A5M4. A total of 1,094
A5M’s and derivatives were built during the period
1937-43. They were carried aboard the Carriers: Akagi,
Hosho, Kaga, Ryujo and Zuiho. They
participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor and the ill-fated
Battle of Midway in the first three carried named above were lost.
