In the attack of Port Darwin, Australia, from the Rabaul base, the Zero showed superior circling ability and overwhelmed the Britain's proud Spitfire in dogfights. The Spitfire was a fighter which had beaten the Messerschmitt Bf-109 of the German Air Force in dogfights by making the most of its proud circling ability. The Zeros which achieved these victories in the initial stage of the Pacific War were called Model 21, an improved version of the early Model 11 that showed activity over the Chinese continent. The wings of the Model 21 were designed to permit 50cm of each tip to fold upwards to facilitate carrier stowage.
