This fully illustrated account reveals how US pilots quickly learned to avoid dogfights with the Zero-sen and developed tactics that enabled the Wildcat to hold its own against its more nimble opponent in the skies over the Pacific.

The Wildcat, ruggedly built to survive the rigors of carrier operations, was the best carrier fighter the US Navy had available when the USA entered World War II, and it remained the principal fighter for the US Navy and the US Marine Corps until 1942â"43. With a speed greater than 300mph, exceptional maneuverability, long range, and an impressive armament the slick Zero-sen could out-perform any Allied fighter in 1941â"42.The battles between the Wildcat and the Zero-sen during 1942 represent a classic duel in which pilots flying a nominally inferior fighter successfully developed air-combat tactics that negated the strengths of their opponent.
