Saburo Sakai has a war memoir if you fancy reading it, his book is called samurai, it’s written in his own words on his entire wartime experience, it’s on Amazon for £8-$12, he’s become one of my heroes, excluding the fact he was once a enemy of my nation, his character and temperament was amazing! The guy actually refused orders to kamikaze his plane and risked execution by bringing himself and his 2 wingmen back to Iwo Jima from their “one way trip”. After the war he expressed honest remorse and became a Buddhist acolyte, and swore a oath to never kill ANYTHING living ever again, he died in the year 2000. Unfortunately for his wingmen that he flew with in 1942, Hiroyoshi “the demon” Nishizawa was killed in 1944 whilst transporting high ranking officers to a base in the Philippines. The irony of the whole thing was Nishizawa was the highest scoring ace for the entire IJN up until that point and he wasn’t even able to defend himself as he was flying a twin engined bomber that had been outfitted for human transport with no defensive weaponry. Sakai’s other wingman Toshio Ota died whilst volunteering for a single mission under a different wing leader. Sakai is celebrated as one of the best. Every single person who flew with him in over 200 combat missions that he flew during the entire war was brought back because of his tactical brilliance! He was also the only Non commissioned pilot who was promoted to a officer whilst still being alive. All other promotions for pilots during the war that were Japanese earned their promotions posthumously.

I remember when i watched ,,The wind rises'' by Hayao miyazaki and the Zero which, majestically flew in a 8 headed formation over an empty green landscape, appeared in the movie, i almost hyperventilated because i've never seen such a movie capturing and representing the sheere beauty of aeronautical engineering.

@LostShipMate 2 жыл бұрын

A couple things. Sakai was shot in the eye by the bullet itself, the fragments of goggles also entered his eye. He was wearing the goggles on his face, not his head. He also didn't have a radio which is why he got so far ahead, which makes the radio animation of him, touching his helmet kind of odd. They took the radios out of the Zeros due to their weight, a similar reason as to why Zero pilots did not typically wear parachutes, They got in the way during combat(not because they were suicidal maniacs). Edit: He didn't operate out of Rabaul, but a smaller base on the same island known as Lae. Which was basically a dirt field in the jungle, that happened to have the best Japanese Fighter unit left in the pacific after the Battle of Midway. He also didn't have much of a right eye left after his last flight from lae. Still a great video, I highly recommend reading the book. Its fast paced, and you start to feel for the guy as the war continues to turn against Japan. The fact it is was edited by Martin Caiden helps as well, he's a fantastic author to make the English version as close as possible to the original "Samurai" in Japanese. Like all Japanese memoirs, you kind have to read it with a grain of salt. The last story about shooting down a B-29 on the last day of the war is entirely fictional(Sakai's own words), a result of his translator Fred Saito. Great video regardless, kind of wished you would have shown his fight for survival over Iwo Jima, as its probably one of the greatest accounts of flying I've ever read.

I saw a documentary about Saburo Sakai and James Southerland some tima ago. Not only Southerland's Grumman was badly injured, but he'd also received several bullet wounds. Sakai said that he tried to shoot the engine of the Grumman, because he was impressed by the american pilot's performance, and wanted to let him live. But he missed and destroyed his wing. James landed with his parachute on ilands under Japanese control, and hid for at least 2 days before being rescued by locals and american soldiers. He survived the War, but died in the 1950's when he crasehd his plane on an aircraft carrier's bridge. About Saburo Sakai, when he recieved a bullet through his skull, he said that he saw the ghost of his mother who showed him where to fly back home. After the war, he met the gunner Harold Jones, who offered him a stetson.

Love all these Yarnhub jobs. Always being netral and not taking any side. It show the wars from many perpectives, not only from the Allied side, but also from Japanese and German side. War is war, there is no protagonist or antagonist like the hollywood movies industry always did.

0:58 didn't think an ad would get that much attention, nice the way the ailerons and such flutter in flight, the close up shots are stunning once more. I've been saying similar things for the past few vids but dang the visuals and story telling just brings a sense of thrill every time I'm gonna be speechless from amazement soon ^_^;

I have had the pleasure of growing up next to Pug Southerlands grand children. Known the family for nearly 30 years. His wife was like a grandmother to me, his son Jim was like another parent, and his grandchildren are all great friends. Glad to see this video.

@@Yarnhub a few years back they found Pugs Wildcat wreckage in the jungle, and flew Jim and his wife out to meet with locals, the family that sheltered Pug, and show him the crash site. Sad thing is that Pug became an ace and survived the war, but was killed as a test pilot.

As a Star Raider, I had my engines damaged, long-range sector screen destroyed, subspace radio taken out, shields down, and I only had one operational photon cannon. However, I took out all the Zylon attack spacecraft and was promoted to Star Commander Class 1. No starbases were lost.

He is one crazy pilot, with those skills I am amazed he was even still alive to fly another zero. Most people would have just died the second they took a nasty shot to the skull, but he kept on going not wanting to end his life so fast. If anything this man showed alot of skill most people pilot at the time of this war wish they had, plus much respect for him not being the type to just gun down un armed civilian plane and down pilots, most would see that as an easy kill to add to their numbers.

Found this channel recently, and love the channel. Other WW1, WW2 related channels would show old, somewhat boring footages, but this channel shows its own well made graphic which makes the channel very intriguing, and fun.
