New Type Plane
“We are seeing increasing num-
bers of the new type 3's.” the spok-
esman added, "but so far there la
no reason to believe they are great-
ly superior to the Zero.”
The new plane has a liquid, cool-
ed. In-line motor and greater speed
and power than the Zero’s alr-cool-
radlal engine. The type 3’s are
thought to have more armament
than the comparatively light-gunn-
ed Zeros, according to information
here. Those shot down by Ameri-
can pilots have not burned and ex-
ploded like the Zero. Indicating they
may be equipped with a form of
self-sealing gasoline tank, such as
used by Allied aircraft.
