The A6M2 "Zero" is a carrier-based fighter aircraft operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. It was the Allies' main opponent in the Pacific air war, combining long range with superior maneuverability and firepower. It had a maximum speed of 331 mph (532 km/h) and the ability to climb to 6,000 m in under 7.5 minutes, with tremendous range of 1600 miles. It was a legendary deadly weapon in a dogfight, and was famous for its ability to outmaneuver American fighters at the start of the war. The allied forces eventually caught up with the Zero, with development of better aircraft and better techniques, and towards the end of the war the Zero was mostly used for Kamikaze attacks against Allied naval ships.
