Thanks for the translation. I have seen interviews with German and Soviet aces, and the usual numerous ones with Allied aces, but this is the first time I have seen a Japanese pilot's perspective. Thank you very much.

Note! This gentleman's message for future pilots is nothing like "good luck to you", or "best of luck". His message is:" Study hard, work hard, take care of your health." A message we keep forgetting to convey to our children. If you follow this man's advice, it is more likely that "luck" will be with you.

i wonder what grade octane the fuel used was? if lower i think the shiden was slower 369 listed and i read 403mph too.
@FireflyActual
@FireflyActual 3 жыл бұрын
If I remember correctly, from 1941 onwards the standard Japanese aviation fuel was 92 octane, though by the end of the war its quality was sketchy at best. That's also one of the reasons why the Japanese invested so heavily into water and methanol injection as well as low-pressure fuel injection. Stated top speeds can be inaccurate at times, because the figures given were obtained at military power, not WEP.
@Colt45hatchback

​@@FireflyActuali read somewhere that there were different fuels for different purposes, i think it was about the ki84, it had engine problems on the army 92 octane, but on the navys 100 octane it was reliable. So one assumes the n1k ran on 100 octane? Or perhaps the 100 octane was for something else? Or as you say, they couldnt produce enough for everyone

+Cosmin2306 It's "Hai" not "hei" (sic). It means "yes", contextually a cultural expression of respectful acknowledgment. As for criticism coming from a 'kulsha' were every sentence has to include the word "bro", "dude" or the utterly pointless as it is irritating sycophantic exclamation of "cool!" after every sentence , that's pretty rich. Brainless Brits utter '"erm", (hold on while I think another second ahead) multiple times per sentence, whilst bogan Aussies say "eh" (you agree with me don't you) after every sentence.

Yes they did. The nkj2 shiden kai. Was a sign that some, not all were begining to learn lessons. Like protecting the pilot. But as far as i know still no self sealing fuel tanks. It all came too little too late. The high command had very little regard for pilots and it showed. Now the americans didnt think the japanese air corp was a threat. Thats why august 19th 1944 happened. And the battle of the bulge. The concensus was they were beaten. Had the shiden been produced like the f6f it may have been diff. This pilot was honorable. The people he worked for were monsters with no regard for anyone below them. Two completly diff cultures were at play. Im not knocking japan. I just dont understand .
