Noted the p6 article where Japanese General Soto complains that the Americans aren’t fighting fairly. I can’t remember who it was but another Japanese general spoke out in late 1942 about Americans using “gangster tactics” in the New Guinea and Solomon Sea area by virtue of skip bombing, para-fragging and employing field designed strafing variants of the A-20 and B-25.
