On the other hand, one can reasonably ask just where did that balance of 55,509 Japanese planes produced during the war years go?
Presumably the Japanese, like everyone else, were scrapping and recycling obsolete types and writing off a lot of machines in training. Obviously that's only a fraction of the total but quite likely to have been a substantial number.
