翼の折り畳みで米軍に劣る日本海軍が、なぜ空母に米英を上回る艦載機を積めたのか

In the December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Navy launched approximately 350 carrier-based aircraft. The aircraft carrier Akagi, which supported this attack, carried 91 aircraft, matching the design specifications of US aircraft carriers. At the time, Japanese aircraft had limited wing folding mechanisms and were technologically far inferior to those of the US military. Nevertheless, the reason the Japanese Navy was able to achieve a number of aircraft exceeding that of the US and Britain lay not in machinery, but in a field system of "aircraft maintenance personnel." While the US military parked aircraft on roofs and the British military used outriggers to extend aircraft into the sea, Japan achieved the answer solely through human concentration and skill. We will dissect the genes of that system, which still pulsates within Japanese operations 80 years later. #JapaneseNavy #AircraftCarrier #ZeroFighter #CarrierBasedAircraft #MilitaryExplanation
