【日本本土防空の歴史】超空の要塞B-29に挑んだ男たち｜飛燕・雷電・月光、体当たりの若者、そして現代のスクランブルへ｜AIフルカラー

In the final stages of the Pacific War, America's giant B-29 bombers incinerated Japanese cities from an altitude of 10,000 meters. Young men challenged these "Superfortresses" with Hien, Raiden, and Gekko aircraft, sometimes even ramming them with their own planes, determined to protect the skies of their homeland. Among them were Teruhiko Kobayashi, the youngest squadron leader; Yukio Endo, the night B-29 hunter; and Isamu Kashide, the ace pilot. What they risked their lives to protect is now carried on by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's scrambles. This 80-year story of homeland air defense is traced through photographs restored in full color by AI. 0:00 Beginning and End 2:07 Announcement 2:38 The Superfortress Arrives 4:30 Targeting Japan from the Mariana Islands 6:32 Preparations to Intercept, and the 10,000-Meter Wall 8:29 The Hien Squadron and its Youngest Leader 10:21 Shinten Seiku-tai: The Resolve to Ram 12:11 Kobayashi Rams a B-29 and Returns Alive 13:44 Raiden Interceptor, and the Maverick Ace 15:25 Naval Defense: Atsugi's 302nd Naval Air Group 16:43 Night Hunter: Gekko and Schräge Musik 18:14 Yukio Endo: Hunting B-29s in the Night Sky 19:44 Toryu Unit and Isamu Kashide, the Ace of Kyushu 21:40 The Superfortress Falls 23:01 Zero Fighters and B-29s: The Unbridgeable Gap in National Power 24:19 Phantom Trump Cards: Shusui and Shinden 26:10 Iwo Jima Falls, Surrendering the Skies 27:20 Great Tokyo Air Raid: A Night of Fire with No Escape 29:31 Cities Across the Nation Burned One After Another 30:51 The Number of Lives Lost, and What They Tried to Protect 33:11 Bamboo Spears, the End of the War, and the Atsugi Incident 34:41 From the Ruins, and Men Who Returned to the Sky 36:14 The Sabre Era: Wings Carried On 38:12 Modern Scrambles: Homeland Air Defense Continues 39:45 Summary ▼ References Isamu Kashide『B29撃墜記』 and others / Joint Staff, Ministry of Defense We strive to convey historical records as accurately as possible.
