Wait a minute, when did US aircraft operate from a Japanese warship in WWII? What the heck did I miss?

The Nippons were badass when we had to fight them. No doubt they still have that talent which can be turned back on with no problem. The Chicoms may learn the folly of overreach the hard way.

“Ahead of these trials, the Izumo arrived at Iwakuni last week.”

Iwakuni,

I miss that place, was there at the Marine base for a year, job sucked, but my time in Japan was good.

I’ve been reading a book about the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Force in WWII.

Midway really screwed them up.

I was surprised at the number of their pilots who were not college graduates.

I’m not sure that they had enough bombers.

They also seemed to have a problem protecting their bombers.

They really didn’t like the P-51.
