Well , that is not totally true. the US destroyed all the Japanese "war" aircraft that they captured at teh end of the war. sine most Zero's were Carrier based , most of them went to the bottom of the pacific, when the US Scuttled the Japanese Fleet.Morryjg said:
However those aircraft captured by Forces from New Zealand, Austrialia , China, etc. did with them how they pleased. as a matter of fact after the war most of China's air force was made up of captured Japanese aircraft , till they rebuilt.
god i hate that movie.N8 said:Never saw the movie Empire of the Sun did ya...?
It was used later in the Pacific campaign ('45). The F-4U was used quite a bit earlier. I don't think they ever used 51's on aircraft carriers, which might explain why it showed up so late in the war.MikeD said:
