I agree- but inferior fighters plus surplus of pilots beats superior fighters and no pilots

Same can be said of Germany and their fighter aircraft and no pilots

Germany didn’t waste pilots like Japan did. Germany was confident it would create better planes so it wanted pilots to return.

Japan was willing to let pilots die in the mission. So when they developed better planes like the Frank, there was no one to fly them.
