JAPANESE PROFILES - A6M3 assigned to 'Zuikaku'

In January 1943 Zuikaku brought reinforcements to Rabaul in the form of A6M3 Zero fighters, as portrayed above. A1-1-118 was photographed at Lakunai Drome just after being offloaded. The Zuikaku Zeros would later tangle with Fifth Air Force bombers and fighters over Rabaul.
