But with the P51 vs. the Zero, inexperienced pilots were beating experienced Japanese pilots.

The Zero was obsolete by the time the P-51 arrived, it truly never got much better from 1941 onward. There were many Japanese fighters that were superior to the Zero.

Also- by the time the P51 arrived ,the real expierienced
Jap pilots were dead- training was minimal- U.S.
subs had crippled the Jap economy.

And as for the battle of Britain- imagine flying
escort to London and having only 10 minutes to fight
before heading back- big mistake made by the Nazi’s.

The Jap Navy did a lot of stupid things, one was not pulling front line pilots to train new pilots in 1941 and 42. They had two years to recover from midway and they blew it. The replacement for the A-6M zero was superior to any thing the US Navy had, including the corsair. It was code named Reppu. The Reppu program was put on the back burner when it should have been priority no 1.
