"Setting Sun"
17 inches X 25 inches (16 X 24 image size). Edition of 500 Signed &
Numbered prints.
A Japanese A6M5 "Zero" succumbs to the sea as her pilot ponders
his possible fate. The victors, a pair of P-38 "Lightnings" circle
overhead. The A6M fighter was a formidable opponent for the allied
fighters that flew in combat against it. The Zero design had its
limitations. Its design philosophy was on maneuverability, not speed.
The Japanese tactical assumptions, that maneuverability was the
prime factor in the success of a fighter design, were to be proven false
as the war dragged on. While the Zero was fairly fast in 1941, the Allies
soon introduced big fast armored fighters that could compete against
the Japanese Zero. Even the later models of the Zero were unable to
offset the inherent limitations of its design. With the introduction of the
P38, Corsair and Hellcat the Zero's days of air domination came to an
end.
