Скачать или смотреть Japanese Pilot Faced American Night Fighter — SCR-720 Radar Detected at 10 Miles

The cockpit of the Nakajima J1N Gekko trembled as Lieutenant Commander Yasuo Kozono pushed his twin-engine night fighter through the darkness above Rabaul. It was the night of November second, nineteen forty-three, and the moon had not yet risen. Kozono scanned the black void through his canopy, searching for the American bomber he knew was out there somewhere. His observer, seated behind him, pressed his face against the rear-facing telescope, eyes straining against the darkness. They had been hunting for twenty minutes. Then, without warning, tracers ripped past Kozono's wing. He banked hard, heart hammering. Where had the attack come from? He had seen nothing. No silhouette, no exhaust flames, no shadow against the stars. The American fighter had found him first, and Kozono had no idea how.
