This 1943 Zero has been converted to a two-seater during its restoration to airworthy status with an R-1830 engine. Whilst the second seat helps to earn the warbird's upkeep I suppose, I understand it does represent a wartime field modification to reconnaissance aircraft. An A6M-2K two-seat trainer variant also existed. This photo is copyright © Peter de Jong, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
