I am going to do the aircraft of IJN Ace Saburo Sakai. I am doing his early mount when he served
in China with the 12th Flying Group plane tail number 3-116. I have read his book Samurai and found
him to be a most admirable and honest man and one heck of a good pilot. I was amazed at his adventure
over Guadalcanal when he took a bullet to the head, lost sight in one eye but flew over 600 miles back to
Rabaul and landed safely. He was a true Samurai. John
