Jeez General. Where do you get this crap? And of course you're going to give some half ass link. By the middle of 1944 the Japs had pretty much run out of quality aircraft, and good pilots, The Corsair, The Hellcat and P 51shot these things out of the sky. Ever hear about ‘’The Great Marianas Turkey Shoot’’? Ever hear of Saburo Sakai? Google his name and read his book.And as a matter of record and fact the P-51 Mustang was THE best piston engine fighter plane of WW2.

I just finished reading Sakai’s autobiography.

He felt that the Japanese had turned out two fighter aircraft that were equal to anything the Americans had. They just couldn’t produce large numbers of them because their factories were destroyed.

It was fascinating to read about the war from the point of view of a Japanese fighter pilot.
