When One Plus One Makes A Zero

In demand today, but pretty hard to come by, is the Japanese Zero, which, 23 years ago, created much havoc in the New Guinea area.

This one, recently reconstructed from two airframes, by an employee of the Australian Department of Civil Aviation, now stands at Kavieng Airport, New Ireland. About 18 months ago, Japanese and American interests were interested in buying Japanese war planes, particularly of the Zero type, for museums, etc. However, the correspondent who sent us this picture believes they did not locate any in New Guinea.
