is this Saburo Sakai?

From history, it seems the high command really wasted the Zeroes' assets. It had greater range than any allied fighter in 1942 and the Japanese had far more aircraft carriers, yet the Japanese always closed in too close to the US carriers and squandered their pilots and Zeroes at Guadalcanal.

So much BS in this video, like: No Allied plane could out-turn the Zero. BS, a Lightning could. The other lie: Allied planes would never dogfight a Zero. Tell that to Hellcat pilots whose planes outclassed the Zero in every capacity except turning. A dogfight was ALWAYS about emphasizing your airplane's strengths and downplaying its weaknesses.A ridiculous comment.
