Wartime History
Patricipated in the Battle of the Marianas. Made an emergency landing and was abandoned at Yap Airifeld.

Only the cockpit portion remained. One of four Zeros recovered in 1980 by Nobuo Harada. Stored at the Kawaguchiko Car Museum. It has not been restored, but was used as a source of parts for the restoration for A6M2 91518.
