Re: Allied Opinion of IJN vs. IJA Fighter Pilots
There's a couple of points here. One is that the Japanese did not have the resources that the US did. They didn't develop more forward bases because they couldn't. The other is that the Russians found the P-400/P-39 perfectly capable of dealing with enemy fighters, so this kind of sweeping generalisation just isn't right. The important point being perhaps that they were not dealing with the same fighters.
