「雷電」第302海軍航空隊仕様
「雷電は良い飛行機でしたよ。
上昇力もあるし、フラップ使えば空戦もできるしね。
私は好きでした。P-51とも空戦しました。
もしゼロ戦に乗っていたら生きていなかったでしょうね。
私は雷電だから生き残れた。雷電特有の強制冷却ファンの
甲高い音が今でも耳に残っています。」

「Raiden」302nd Naval Air Corps specification
「The "Raiden" was a good aircraft.
It has good climbing ability, and if you use the flaps, it can also engage in aerial combat.
I liked it. I also had an air battle against a P-51.
If I had been on a Zero Fighter, I probably wouldn't have survived.
I survived because it is a Raiden. The distinctive high-pitched sound of the Raiden's forced cooling fan still lingers in my ears even now」
