Summary edit

Description
English: An Imperial Japanese Navy Zero aircraft which crashed on Akutan Island, Alaska on June 4, 1942 after bombing Dutch Harbor. The pilot, Tadayoshi Koga, was killed in the crash. The soft marshy surface prevented serious damage to the aircraft. The plywood drop fuel tank was torn from the Zero as it slid across the marsh. The aircraft was moved to the United States and later used for intelligence purposes by the US.
