Nagoya Katsudo Shashin, a film group in Nagono, Nagoya, is making a documentary about Kaname Harada, a former fighter pilot who flew the Imperial Japanese Navy's Type 0 Carrier Fighter, known simply as the "zero" or "zerosen" in Japanese.
In addition to providing an opportunity to reflect on the war that ended almost 70 years ago, the film will also be a valuable addition to the historical records of World War II.
The veteran fighter pilot, now 97, participated in many battles during the Pacific War, including the Battle of Midway.
