"When we saw a plane hit the ocean and just splash we knew it was American. When we saw a plane hit the water and explode we knew it was one of ours." - memoir of a WWII Japanese fighter pilot.

That's not the only reason they stood no chance ! 😮😮

[@sgt.grinch3299]

Another fine series. Please keep them coming.

[@VIDEOVISTAVIEW2020]

This story is about Saburo Sakai life story taken from a book which started from his childhood to his life in the Navy, marrying Hatsuyo and his life after the war.

[@jeffdundon9895]

doing a dang fine job..appreciate you.ty Happy Easter

[@Bob.W.]

The story picks up almost 2 years after his injury it appears. He talks about the loss of his eye but I think he lost the use of his left hand as well.

[@andrewtaylor940]

The hand came back with treatment.

Excerpt from Saburo Sakai memoir.

[@jonathanjackgoodman2764]

Please tell me this man's story has been turned into an anime. Had me on pins and needles. Bravo! 👏

[@juliusjohnson4829]

I had the same thoughts, but the Japanese kinda like to forget that ww2 even happened.

[@raincoast9010]

How desperately sad, so many young men died.

[@davidsmith7372]

Doing my part for the algorithm. Did we skip a few chapters?

[@atomicwedgie8176]

Sock-Eye the One-Eye pilot

[@dlkline27]

I found the air combat over Iwo fascinating. However, I will never understand why the American pilots didn't anticipate Sakai's left roll after he repeatedly used it to evade their guns.

[@crpgap9595]

Because this never happened. It's mostly made up "memories." Records never match his claims.

[@brotherpaul963]

The Americans were using it for bombing practice".... Well said!!

[@HorribleHarry]

That sounds like more hellcats were shot down in that battle then the entire war

[@richardtardo5170]

No continuity, too many commercials. It ruins the narrative.

[@OCEANSIDEGANGBUSTER]

Premium Membership is worth it. Saves a lot of distraction. No commercials.

Where are the chapters you've skipped?

[@nole8923]

The stories are great, but pictures need to change to reflect the subject at hand.

[@79sammyboy]

So why did they put rolls royce engines in thier mustang (flagship) fighter. And why was the Lancaster Bomber planned to drop the atomic bombs on japan because even the USA thought their bombers werent good enough for the missions.

[@michaelrivard4879]

I generally like the stories that are given here and they are reasonably accurate, however it does not show what they did to the Russians in the 30s and the Chinese. Would you consider telling those stories after all 25 million people died because of it

[@billotto602]

BUT THEY'RE COUSINS !? I thought they were from Japan but this sounds like they're from Alabama !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@crpgap9595]

And then he caught a fish so big it fed half of Japan!!!! Not sure if this guy has ever told an accurate story. Saki was a good pilot but the records never match his claims.

[@greghenderson6011]

Sounds like a great movie material! Fictional story that is…

[@ZoeBrain]

Saburo Sakai's A6M from Rabaul was found at Gasmata and restored, and is now in the Australian War Memorial. www.awm.gov.au/collection/C111051 Not fiction, we have not just the paper records, but the aircraft.

[@hertzair1186]

Actual this is a true story from Sakais’s memoirs

[@4catsnow]

"The American planes were simply better than ours"....Stop boo-hooing,,, pilot-san....you guys started it...remember???

[@burtvincent1278]

So incest was a thing in Japan?

[@suzannakoizumi8605]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@jamesswenson3411]

This is bull shitt

Dang... Just 1 puncture& blah blah blah

[@gandydancer9710]

It's a reading. From a book. So sad for you that that it's not a comic.

[@user-jc5hz1hx2u]

Japanese planes were not well protected, they were flying coffins for the pilots

[@VIDEOVISTAVIEW2020]

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.
