Fighter Pilots: A Warrior Clan
TAKE A HARD LOOK at the two young men in these photos. Do they look as if they were bent on killing one another? On the left we have a young, unknown enlisted Japanese pilot standing in front of a Nakajima Ki-27 \"Nate,\" one of Japan's earliest monoplanes that led to the much vaunted Zero.
