坂井三郎さんのトリビュート・ビデオを作ってみました。Have you read "Winged Samurai"?Sakai was born on 1916, in Japan, into a family of samurai ancestry.Sakai sustained grievous injuries from the return fire; he was struck in the head by a .30 caliber bullet, blinding him in the right eye. After his five-month recovery, Sakai spent a year training new fighter pilots and young Kamikaze pilots. Sakai decried the kamikaze campaign as brutally wasteful of young lives.Sakai told reporters that he still prayed for the souls of the Chinese, American, Australian and Dutch airmen he had killed."I pray every day for the souls of my enemies as well as my comrades," he said. "We all did our best for our respective countries." "Glorifying death was a mistake," he said. "Because I survived I was able to move on and make friends in the U.S. and other countries."In 2000 Sakai briefly served as a consultant to the popular computer game Combat Flight Simulator 2 by Microsoft.
