what the Japanese fail to understand is that it is not the power of the machines that win battles. superior tactics, unshakable dedication and the insatiable vigor to destroy the enemy win battles.
this is something not found in the heart of a Japanese pilot. they are told that their emperor will provide, that he will honor their death, that he is a Deity who can decide the fate of the nation. the truth is, he is powerless. he hides behind the corrupt minds of his military elite, a coward. he knows that the Allied powers will overcome, that this destructive conflict will lay waste to his nation, but he won't end it because he is weak. the Japanese will all be led to their deaths, and there is nothing they can do about it.
their aircraft manufacturers neglect to exploit the fatal weaknesses of their so-called "superior" aircraft.
the Betty is a ticking time-bomb. hit just once in the right spot, and she is ablaze, the whole crew lost.
the Zero is structurably unstable. take it above 375 mph and it will begin to break apart. neither the mighty P-40, nor the Brewster Buffalo, not even the nimble Hurricane will encounter such problems.
the Allied powers possess the most structurably sound aircraft in the world. they will assure your safety. so, you can either fly with us, or you will burn, baby burn.
