Pop Quiz: Military History Trivia (Part One)

Answers Sunday

Our good friend, aviation and aerospace writer Ron Edwards passed this along to us the other day as a test of our comprehension of historical military trivia. We're a bit embarrassed to tell you how we did. See if you can do better. We'll publish the answers on Sunday:

  1. Which branch of the American military had a higher combat death rate in World War II, The Air Corps or the Marine Corps?
  2. Approximately how many enemy aircraft was Japanese ace Hiroyoshi Nishizawa credited for destroying? How did he die?
  3. During the Second World War, it was common practice for gun crews to load every fifth round on fighters with tracer bullets. Was this a good idea or a bad idea? Why?
  4. What German bomber was capable of reaching New York City from Occupied Europe?
  5. (Here's my contribution to the quiz) Who was Japan's greatest SURVIVING fighter ace at the end of World War II? What was the name of his book, written in 1957?

This is a self-test. No response is required. You're on the honor system.
