Very cool, and three trips to Tokyo! So jealous!
The plane looks like a Mitsubishi Zero fighter from World War II.
Glad I could help you identify it. I think it is a really interesting piece of OA in terms of content and style. I did a bit more reading online and found that the use of Zeroes in manga that depicted the WWII era was a common motif in the late 1950's and throughout the 1960's. From what I read, these manga generally depicted the bravery and skill of the Japanese pilots and celebrated the technical abilities of the planes themselves. The heroes generally dueled American pilots in extended dogfight sequences.
Wow, I don't generally care much for Manga but I love the clean, crisp style on this one! Very Astro Boy....
It's wonderful!
I love this scene. Hiroshi Kaizuka is one of the great but still very underappreciated ! His most famous (in Japan) is a baseball series he drew shortly after this was published
