US pilots were warned about Japan’s new carrier fighter—but nothing prepared them for what happened when A6M Zeros came out of the sun. In the brutal opening months of the Pacific War, American Navy and Marine aviators flying the F4F Wildcat learned—fast—that the Zero could out-climb, out-turn, and out-position them with altitude tactics and deadly diving attacks.
This is the story of the first shock encounters of 1941–1942, where early dogfights exposed the difference between turn-fighting vs. energy fighting—and forced the U.S. to adapt or die. You’ll see how pilots changed tactics in real time: boom-and-zoom dives, keeping speed, refusing turning duels, and the famous defensive counter that helped even the odds—the Thach Weave.
