Japanese “Ace” Funny Story In World War II

Hiroyoshi Nishizawa in his Mitsubishi Zero A6M3 Model 22 (tail code UI-105) from the 251st Kokutai over the Solomon Islands in May 1943. The unit’s aircraft have been hastily sprayed with dark green camouflage paint on the upper surfaces.

One Japanese fighter pilot in World War II (WW II) named Hiroyishi Nishizawa. in fact on the historical record he was famous among the “ace” of the rising sun country. It is possible that Nishizawa was the most successful Japanese fighter ace of the war; he personally claimed to have had 87 aerial victories at the time of his death. Some uncertainty is due to the Japanese habit of recording victories for pilots’ units, rather than the individual, after 1941, as well as the often wildly-exaggerated claims of aerial kills that were frequently accepted. Some sources credit Nishizawa with over 100 victories.

War does not always cause a terrible picture. But it turns out, there is also a little small smile that can be generated from events that happened in the war it self. Hiroyishi Nishizawa example. Unique occurrence ranges in 1942.

But without realizing an American military aircraft apparently following them from behind and dropped a letter on top of their base. Not long after that they were called by their commander and they got heavily reprimanded. Apparently the commander had received a letter dropped on Lae’s base. Here’s the letter:

“We are very impressed by the three aviators who visited us today and we were amazed at the loop that they make over our base. We would greatly appreciate them if airline pilots were willing to come once again. then we deeply regret not making more preparation in their visit was. But next time they will receive a more festive reception. “
