No, their pilot doctrine was at least as important. The Japanese had their pilots fly until they died or were incapable of flying. That means the lessons those pilots learned were much less likely to get passed onto new recruits, so their level of training wasn't much better than the beginning of the war, if not worse. OTOH, the US rotated their pilots out after a certain period so that they could pass on the lessons they learned, so the US had a constant supply of pretty good to good pilots. Couple that with aircraft that could eventually fly faster, maneuver, had good armament, AND take damage, as well as the losses at Coral Sea and the catastrophic losses at Midway, and you end up with things like the Marianas Turkey Shoot. |
