5.0 out of 5 stars
A great warrior, to be respected by other warrior's !,
By Bob Reynolds (Ferndale, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samurai ! (Paperback)
I first read this book while stationed in Korea in 1957. For anyone at all intrested in combat flying, this book is an absolute read! Saburo Sakai was not the greatest flyer in the Japanese Navy, however he was good enough to have survived 3700 hour's of combat flying from 1937 to 1945, 1500 hr's. in the marvelous Zero. He is credited with some 64 allied air kill's, and in one of these air battle's, he was badly shot up. He was blinded in one eye and shot in the leg and arm, and flew his aircraft, over water, some 100 mile's further than it could fly. (Almost 500 mile's) To read this Autobiography of one of WW2's greatest Fighter Pilot's is an All Day and half the night, do not put down, Heart Pounding Enjoyable Read ! A MUST READ !

A MUST READ for all Americans young & old.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Samurai ! (Paperback)
A dramatic first-time look at the human side of a former enemy in the Pacific. All will gasp at the brutality & severity of pilot training in Japan in the late 1930's. Sakai's story will translate into any language and remain in your heart long after you've finished reading.
