Historical Context
The Nakajima A6M2-N, known by the Allies as the 'Rufe', was an innovative floatplane fighter model developed from the renowned A6M Zero. This aircraft was crafted to serve Japan's remote outposts during World War II, primarily offering reconnaissance and defense capabilities in difficult maritime locations, like the Aleutian Islands.
