Japan's Aircraft Production Low
Aeronautics authority Lucien Zacharoff writes in Aviation that Japan's air industry is woefully weak with 3000 to 5000 first line planes and about 5000 personnel. He notes Japan trains under 1000 pilots annually and accuses censors of acknowledging high accident rates. Production is about 250 military planes per month versus the US 1500. Far East safety contingents and Allied air power surpass Japan in the Pacific.
