      The scary thing was how many of the few surviving Japanese "Elite" experienced pilots by 1945 were missing various bits and pieces. It almost took three pilots to make a whole one.

The few still alive a few years ago just wanted an apology and they wouldn’t do it. I think the last one died recently.

      The Japanese being the aggressor needs to have a flaw at least, otherwise, it would have caused more casualties to the allies or it would have caused a different result to the war.
