Michael, welcome to the forum!

Using your forum nickname, I found your excellent website and a full summary of A6M Zero production which I have never seen before. A very good piece of research:

May I follow up the sources for your review of USAAF aircraft strength in the Pacific? I am referring to the following link, of course:

You will not yet be able to use the forum's private message function, so you contact me by e-mail, my address is available at the following link, courtesy of Michael Holm - http://www.ww2.dk/Luftwaffe%20Research.html

Kind regards,

Dan

P.S. I have copied Michael's summary of Ki-43 specifications here for those who have not seen it before:
