Re: Japanese pilot opinions on the J2M

Manoeuvrability is difficult to pin down. Peak values of turn rates and roll rates are valuable guides, but also the rates of onset matter. Pitch rate as well.

I've no opinion of P-51 vs Raiden in particular, but suspect that Sakai had little experience of the P-51.
