――The Zero Fighter Type 21, which continued to make good progress in the beginning of the war, became inferior in speed and firepower to the new fighter planes of the US Army and Navy that appeared one after another in 1943.
――Therefore, the 52 type was developed following the 32 type and 22 type, the wingspan was shortened from 12 m to 11 m for the 21 type and 22 type, and the cowling was redesigned and equipped with a thrust type single exhaust pipe. As a result, the maximum speed is 565km / h, which is 25km / h higher than the 22 type.
――In addition, the 20mm machine gun in the wing was replaced with a belt-fed 99 type No. 2 type 4 20mm machine gun, and a 52 type instep with a thicker main wing outer plate was produced to increase the swooping speed limit. The request continued, with Type 52 B, which strengthened the right side of the 7.7 mm machine gun on the nose to a 13 mm machine gun, Type 52, which added a 13 mm machine gun to the outside of the 20 mm machine gun on both wings of Type B, and Nakajima for the Type 52 series. Approximately 6,000 aircraft were produced at Mitsubishi and continued to fight until the end of the Pacific War.
