Yep.
Lost his eye in that fight.
They were extremely demoralized by the B-17 and the B-29.
The Japanese bombers were horrible.
The Japanese Navy had a real problem with calling off an attack just when they were ready to win big.
Pearl Harbor is an example, but an even bigger mistake was their pullback from the Indian Ocean.
They were deathly afraid of losing carriers, and then lost four of them at Midway.
I think another big problem for the Japanese was their lack of radar.
They lost a lot of planes on the ground because they never knew when we were coming.
Japanese planes, rifles, machine guns, small arms and especially their tanks and ships were just pain awful. Their submarines however were pretty good, huge things to be sure and the Long Lance torpedo was an excellent weapon. But over all the Japanese made poor quality weapons and their tactics were even worse. At sea, particularly in the Battle Of Samar in October of 1944 when a much larger Japanese force almost over came a smaller American one for some reason, at almost the moment of winning the fight they turned tail and steamed away. On land they threw themselves at American Marines in senseless ''banzai'' charges.My late-father-in law saw combat as a Marine on Saipan and attested to this. And the kamikaze attacks were even dumber.
