Re: Allied Opinion of IJN vs. IJA Fighter Pilots
What is the comparative size of the external and internal tanks? Surely there is less fuel in the drop tank than in the airframe and it will have been emptied on the way down? Retaining the tank after the fuel had been used will reduce not just the agility but also the range of the aircraft. Retaining the tanks does not save fuel but waste it. The quoted statement is contradictory.
