WARS OVER: GROUNDED

Photo shows Mitsubishi A6M Zeros sitting on a scattered flight-line. If you look close, you can see that the propellers have been removed, some aircraft had the pilots seat removed, along with fuel and ammo, to prevent any unauthorized flights.
At wars end the Imperial Navy and Army still had thousands of aircraft held in Japan. US forces later scrapped or burned surviving aircraft. A few twin-engine aircraft were used for communications within Japan but they were later grounded. Did you know it took the United States until 1947 to scrap the entire Japanese War Machine.
