The MC.200 performed quite well in combat against the Soviets, despite being outdated or outperformed by Soviet fighters. In addition to personal courage, the training of the MC.200 pilots was of a high standard.

Great picture, I don't remember seeing a Picture of carrier based IJN planes with the cockpits covered on deck, presumably to keep the cockpit temps down, with the exception of what I assume are the ready CAP fighters that are ready to launch on short notice to defend the fleet. Again great Photo!

Very cool and my favorite picture of a Swedish Junkers Ju-86K. This was the second one the swede's acquired, no. 132. This picture is from probably around 1938 or 1939.
