By the time the Corsair arrived, the Japanese didn't have many well trained pilots left. So was it -the plane- that made all the difference?
I saw a Bad-History Channel program on Japanese Secret Weapon Planes that stated that Japan had 100's of jet fighters at the end of the war, ready to take off and wipe the US planes from the sky. Yup. All there to just wipe the US out, lucky thing the war ended before the -next- Tuesday.
I wondered where they'd get pilots able to fly the things let alone fight in them. But in the Plane vs Plane mentality you just compare technical aspects to know the Winner, and maybe numbers manufactured. So whew did the US ever duck losing WWII to the Japanese with allllllll those jets!
