This is the autobiography of Jūző Mori, a torpedo bomber pilot in the Imperial Japanese Navy during WWII. Never before translated into English, this book gives a vivid depiction of what it was like to fly and fight for the IJN.

It's great to see more accounts of the Pacific Theater from the Japanese side of the conflict and get an insight to what their military personnel experiences were.

I bought this book and have almost finished reading it. Very insightful from the Japanese perspective of the war and specifically from the Torpedo pilot. It is amazing that when we take away our individual experiences and biases and veiw warriors from the opposing side we see that in the end indivdual warriors are the same regardless of where we are from.
