Re: Saburo Sakai

hello all

my language is not english, I don't anderstand toch.

in summary

Saburo Sakai(Sakai Saburo in japanese language) was a great,very great pilot in ww2
his first big victory was to survive in ww2( how many dead pilots)
but he is an "ace" with a record of victories: how victories?

no"official" japanese victory board,no any "official" japanese score list by government,historians and enthusiasats trying to put a list: everybody knows that!

I have the claims of Sakai in Rabaul/new guinea ( 1.4.42 to 2.8.42) from the Tainan Kokutai "Kodochosho"

total=37 claims ( alone or shared ) and we have his log book total same periode = 53

I want to anderstand why 64 or 28 ,a dozen, more or less

the simplicity is to look the "kodochosho" no? and now why not?

I am just an enthusiast and want to understand .

Is this someone who can help me? otherwise we pass has other things.

good day all

best regards
