The successor of the ancient but impoverished samurai clan Saburo Sakai in World War II became the best pilot in Japan. He participated in more than two hundred air battles and was the only Japanese ace who never lost his wingman in battle. Sakai's flying prowess was legendary. After the worst wound received in 1943, the pilot returned to battle again and went through the entire war until the surrender of Japan. To combat the American fleet during World War II, Japanese Vice Admiral Onishi created the kamikaze Special Attack Corps. One of the few surviving airmen was the true samurai, Japan's most famous ace Saburo Sakai. The Japanese army, its spirit and its warriors, deadly air battles, as well as details of everyday life - all this in the memoirs of Saburo Sakai.
