  What happened, Roger, is that the best Japanese pilots were sent into combat, and inevitably many fell with their planes in battle. As the war drew on, the Japanese had less qualified instructors but numerous poorly trained pilots. Many kamikazi pilots were from these ranks. They barely knew how to fly a plane.
  
  The Americans kept their best pilots as instructors, and so all the new American pilots received qualified training and instruction. What the Japanese had to offer after a year or so of combat was a very poorly trained air-force flying sophisticated planes.
