Col. Kato was indeed a real officer serving with the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force in Southeast Asia... an officer highly respected by his pilots for his fairness and excellent flying ability. The aircraft he and his men flew was the Nakajima Ki-43 'Hayabusa' fighter. One of the many highlights of the production was the use of the actual type aircraft used by the Kato squadron.
