Summary
| Description |
English: Guadalcanal, 8th August, 1942: Taking a .30 cal. round to the head in combat, the bullet split the upper frame of the right glass of Sakai's flight goggles and bounced off his skull. Covered with blood, blind in one eye and barely conscious, he shifts his silk scarf under his flight helmet to stop the bleeding and returns to his base in an epic 4 1/2 hour flight, while everybody has given up on him. He never regained the vision of his right eye, but a year later he was back in the cockpit. |
