I know, it's stupid. But there's a person on another forum who insist's that the Mitsubishi A6M series was originally an Australian design that the Aussies rejected before the Japanese picked it up, modified then kicked our collective asses 3/4 of the way across the Pacific with it, before we kicked them back.

Anyone EVER hear of this silly claim before?

And really, I AM serious, REALLY I am!!!

Next he will try to sell you our Sydney Harbour Bridge..

I have never heard this load of bs before. Never seen it in any book about Australian aviation either.
