Re: A6M5a Saburo Sakai
In June and early July 1944 Sakai flew with the Yokosuka Kokutai based on Iwo Jima where he claimed 5 Hellcat victories flying Zeroes, 3 on 24th June and 1 each on the 4th and 5th July. During this time he would have been flying A6M5 or A6M5a aircraft, unfortunately there is no mention of aircraft codes..

The doubts are really these..
ヨ-137 was also a A6M5a? Or was only a A6M5c?
I have no idea..

Thanks a lot..It's all the same..
