Known as the “god of dive-bombing,” Takashige Egusa was one of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s most legendary pilots of World War II. In December 1941 he led an eighty-plane attack force against Pearl Harbor and, two weeks later, assaulted the American gun batteries on Wake Island. After a series of missions in the Indian Ocean, Egusa was badly burned at Midway in 1942. A warrior to the last, he returned to duty, only to be killed on a desperate raid on enemy aircraft carriers in the Marianas.
