Re: Japanese aerial exterminating action?
I have read that, during the Battle of Khalkhin Gol/Nomonhan Incident, a japanese pilot landed next to a soviet fighter he shot down and killed its pilot with his katana !
Maybe the japanese were the top killer under chutes (tough I have read some reports of japanese pilot who waved pilots under parachutes) but the Americans are quite high in the top too... Lots of german pilots died this way and even French crew during Operation Torch who would have become Allied in the following days... A russian pilot (one of the top ace of the Korean War, I can't remember his name now) was quite supprised of being fired under parachute during the Korean War, something he hadn't met against the germans.
