- Miyazaki Isamu was a Japanese fighter pilot who flew A6M Zeros and N1K Shiden-Kais during WWII. This footage was recorded in 2011 at his home near Osaka.
Sadly, Isamu passed away in 2012, making this the only footage of him discussing his experiences in WWII.
Miyazaki mentions a pilot named Kashimura near the end of the interview. Here's a link showing what he became famous for.

"Eight or twelve...I've fought them so much I don't remember." Hahaha what a bold statement
Isamu Miyazaki was one of the great aces of Imperila Navy.
His mentor was Kannichi Kashimura, who was very famous for his dog fighting.
It is refreshing to hear from a pilot which fought against the allies, I mean . . . I'm kinda fed up looking at the war on their perspective. So thanks for putting up so much effort for this. A piece of history as told from the eyes of a man who fought for the Empire of Japan.
Btw, kinda ironic but I'm a Filipino. :D
True, don't forget that the Americans killed 200,000 or more Filipino civilians in the Philippine American War of 1899.
They're not the "good guys" as they proclaim to be.
@@Millermacs Plus the Native Americans and crimes against Southerners by Yankies or Dixies to north
@@Millermacs nobody is the good guy. Japan was the worst out of all participants though
@@garliconionshallot There is no good guys in war. Only bad guys. And it doesn't matter who is "worse".
@@garliconionshallot America caused the world war, America had been provoking Germany and Japan for decades prior leading up to the war. It didn't just magically begin with Pearl Harbor
Soviet atrocities were literally the worst the world has seen. The largest massgrape in modern history was done by the Soviets against 2,000,000 German women ages 6-60....🤢
03:20 while he explain "Skid Sideways" , he did move his Leg.Respect.
Thank you for the translated edition. It's a privilege for us in the west to be able to share in hearing of his experience.
F4U corsairs were the F22s of that era (before Germany entered the jet age) fighting against an aging zero and yet this guy lived to tell the tale. I guess no American F4U corsair pilots were good enough to shoot this guy down.
"Asking the tough questions." great.
A good pilot can fight a superior enemy plane and win. It´s about the pilots mostly who wins instead of good planes. Of course a good plane makes it easier, but a good pilot is much better.
I love these Old Boys!...So honest - no baloney!

My greatest respect for this old warrior who fought against an enemy that surpassed him technologically and numerically, only Japanese super pilots like him could survive so many dangers of war.
Oh, really? So what about German-Soviet theater?
@@username_2667 Russian and German planes were greatly armored and technologically sound compared to the Type 00 fighter. IJN planes (IJA planes were much better in most aspects, some even having armor around interesting areas like the radiator, which was very uncommon for this era) were infamously known for being vulnerable and having critical design flaws at higher speeds with model 52s and older. Hencewhy, it was only the best of the best Japanese naval aviators that survived the war. German and Russian planes, while having their own design flaws (e.g., German Me-109 "G" models having oil and overheating problems), had much more going for them.
Also, what does the European Theater have to do with this comment? We are talking about the Pacific Theater - a whole different type of war.
Very interesting. I enjoy hearing pilots for all nations discuss their experiences in the war. Thank you.
>So expert pilots are strong because they make the right move according to their energy state.
Damn, well said. Even in a videogame like WarThunder this statement applies too damn well.
KineticRhyme war thunder full of scrubs
I am here to just see how do I trash those scrubs
Thanks for the work!
What a brave and intelligent fellow he is! Thanks for posting this with a translation!
Love this Old Boy's Air Combat stories!! PILOTS ARE PILOTS!!
great interview, but I wish he had brought bigger model planes :P
We wish you would have a debate on these flying and fighting tactics with a WW2 American and Japanese pilot, similar to a debate. That would be fun to watch.
Life Lesson: Always maintain a superior energy state.
fascinating
"The very first time i fought them (Corsair). Eight of them i think... Eight or twelve, I fought them so much i dont remember."
-Badass Grandpa, 2011
even then the japanese pilots understood ENERGY dog fighting tactics...
Hit and run was in practice by the japanese naval airforce even before ww2 got started. They preferred it the army airforce preferred dogfighting though
Besides the obvious advantages of using energy tactics, it's important to remember the IJN faced a lot of Biplanes in China which could turn tighter and in less time than any naval monoplane.
Its like most of the japanese ace have the same tactics of attacking above and behind
Makes sense, there are no guns there and that area is hard to see from the cockpit
thanks for this it was real interesting you should post this on the war thunder live section on their website im sure many would like to see this
" Half a year of basic training won't teach you this"
