About the A5M2B Claude
The Mitsubishi A5M "Claude" was Imperial Japan's first monoplane carrier-based fighter, representing a significant technological leap when introduced in 1936. The A5M2B early version featured an open cockpit and fixed landing gear, and saw extensive combat over China where it established air superiority for the Imperial Japanese Navy. Its excellent maneuverability and combat record paved the way for its famous successor, the A6M Zero.
