Yeah - I said Zero? I guess I meant Kate (bomber) - pretty sure that's a Kate.
The Japs loved them some straight leading edge wing profiles.
ETA: Maybe not a Kate - the tail isn't right. Is that another captured Allied plane?
I was looking at that one myself. I thought at first it was a Kate then I even thought it could be a captured Dauntless. It's neither of them. I'm going to do some more digging on this one.

That first plane, on the left, is not a Zero. The B-17 is obvious - wasn't sure of the middle one.
The one on the left is a Curtiss Wright CW-22 - an armed trainer also used by and captured from the Dutch.

Maybe. Tail looks right, but wings don't. Perspective is funny on that picture. This is an SNC-1 which is a variant.
ETA: Canopy looks more SNC-1 than CW-22. But, the tail almost eliminates it being Japanese and suggests Curtiss Wright - in one of these flavors.

Hell, I just don't say anything once I break down and look at the URL. Military vehicles and weapons aren't my forte....which is what this thread has kind of turned into.

The Southwest Pacific immediately after Pearl Harbor is a fascinating and often completely overlooked part of WWII.
You're going to find lots of aircraft used that saw little if any combat anywhere else in the war.
B-10s, B-18s, even the beautiful but totally obsolete P-26 took to the skies against the Japanese.

When you consider the P-40 was practically obsolete by the time the war broke out, and served with distinction, even against much better German and Japanese fighters - imagine the stones it took to go up in a P-26...

That's a Sopwith Snipe. It replaced the venerable Sopwith Camel late in the war i do believe.

I bet the Jap pilots could barely contain their laughter in their "paint barely dry", Mitsubishi A-6M in 1941.
The Philipinos claimed 1 Nell and 2 Zeros in their P-26s.

Let's try this one....
Name this ship & country of origin
Hint: She was the largest aircraft carrier used in WWII.
