[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 16327532, member: 67454"] The otehr thing left out was how out-classed our fighters were by the Mitsubishi Zero. There was a saying, if you were flying an F4 Wildcat, and you saw a Zero, what do you do? Head for home and hope he doesn't see you, because you're out-matched right off the bat. Interestingly, our pilots had to develop better tactics to fight the Zero. And they did. And when we finally got planes that were a match for the Zero, the F6 Hellcat and the F4 Corsair, with the incorporation of superior tactics and attrition of Japan's best pilots, our guys ruled the skies. But there was a Hell of a price in blood among US aircrews to pay for that. [/QUOTE]
