Although credited with over 60 aerial victories,
Japan
S most famous fighter ace Ensign Saburo Sakai, IJN took greatest
pride in never losing a wingman. Completing flight training
in 1937, he saw combat in China, the Philippines, and the
Southwest Pacific. On 7 August 1942, he was wounded by SBD
fire and barely made it back to base. He recovered to train
other Japanese pilots and to fight again at Iwo Jima and over
Tokyo. Here Sakai is depicted in one of the many Mitsubishi
Type Zero carrier fighters, it’s markings representative
of those if the Tainan Kokutai during much of 1942. Sakai
flew these aircraft to great success throughout the Pacific
war. |
