"I looked down and saw a single Zero belching smoke with an F4U  in pursuit. 
I went out in
front of Miyano [C.O. Lt. ] and hand-signaled that I had discovered an enemy 
plane below.
Miyano understood and indicated to me that I should go after the enemy. 'Go 
alone?'
Miyano gestured 'Yes!'  Hesitation was not allowed. There was anxiety. I 
saluted and
dived"

Ryoji Ohara, speaking in 1980s, about 5 May 1943, Russell Islands, Solomon 
Islands.
