My understanding is that their Junkers Jumo 004 engines suffered from a lack of nickle and this made them susceptible to overheating problems-i also think they might’ve had fuel pump issues because the pilots could not be carefree with the throttle without risking a flame-out (although this was a problem for all the early jets). Some have also suggested that sabotage (perpetrated by the slave labour forced to build them) may well have been been a factor

So can someone confirm that it IS being “put to bed for the winter?”

Why do people assume that the average Japanese person agreed with the need to go to war?- are people so blinded by mis-directed anger that they think that the entire Japanese race should’ve been wiped out just because they were lead into a war by an extreme right wing regime that even Yamoto knew they couldn’t win?

Thats great news!-thanks, Robbo!

To be fair, you don’t have quite the population density in New Zealand, do you?

Thanks for clearing that little mystery up for me, ‘Regal!-i should’ve put my glasses on!
