Falling Sakura: Japan’s Navy Pilots Falling

From 1942 to 1943, the Solomon Islands became the silent graveyard for Japan’s Navy pilots.
Long-range missions, endless fatigue, and fuel shortages bled their elite dry.
With the veterans gone, only rookies remained. Setting the stage for the Marianas, where American fighters turned the skies into a one-sided slaughter.

That may not be the start you think.
