Dont park a kite in front of a IJAAS hangar.Somebody should have warned the IJN that if you park your stuff in the wrong part of town the locals will have it stripped in nothing flat.

Interesting thing about the Zero is that you could not take the wings off it as you would a P-40, P-47, etc. The wings held the fuselage together. I guess one reason it needed so much range was that you could not take the wings off, put it in a box and ship it in box by boat. I think there was a novel a while back where the Japanese sold the Luftwaffe some Zeros for use as escorts in the BoB; getting them from Japan to Germany would have been an Indiana Jones level of adventure.
