Your response brought up a very interesting point -- I've never read much if anything about the Japanese flyers during the War. I realize most of them didn't survive, but there must be more information about their escapades. They sure put up one hell of a fight.

Robin Olds was relegated to an Air Force Station in Pennsylvania during the Korean Conflict. He was considered a rebel by his superiors and to punish him, they didn't let him go to Korea. Too bad, for he would have, (in my humble opinion) shot down 15-20 MIG 15 aircraft. He was a warrior, pure an simple, and I will carry to the end of my days the honor of serving under his command in Thailand in 1967 and the honor of drinking until dawn with him in Colorado Springs in 2000.
