Nice work so far, Tweety. S. Sakai wrote of the N1K series, which he did fly, as handling like a truck, Nico, compared to A6Ms he always preferred most. I believe he also claimed to have test flown an A7M prototype at least once. If he did so, I would presume he had clearance to fly whatever he liked. I would guess he flew a J2M at least once. Whether he did so in combat, I cannot now remember.
