Whether it's true or not, it has made the rounds.

No
Lighting is way way off between the two subjects
And the outstretched arm with the suppose 1911 is of a different contrast from the rest of the parachutist

The picture looks fake to my naked eye, I don't need PhotoShop to tell me something is fishy about it.

Here's the original A6M3 (Zero) photo

They reversed it and did a little (done poorly IMHO) photoshop.
You can even still see a bit of the vertical stabilizer of one of photoshopped out Zeros just a hair above the canopy in the 2nd pic
