Some mission confirmations for 'Samurai'
Guys:
I haven't read Caidin/Sakai's 'Samurai' in probably 30 years...however, I had chance to recall a couple of missions that I was curious about: The first was a successful mission by Sakai & his unit against American B17s--presumably in Java?--in which their head on attacks resulted in the spectacular destruction of several Bombers The second was a mission defending Lae against B25s (a change from the usual B26 Marauders) in which 5 of 6 where claimed shot down.... Does anyone here have any info on the actual engagements RE: Units involved & actual losses etc... TiA nickm
