It was a dramatic take on it...like pretty much anything supposedly biographic.

>I always find it hilarious how the dude that created a bunch of kamikaze planes is a pacifist and anti-war dude.
Orville Wright said this:

“When my brother and I built and flew the first man-carrying flying machine, we thought we were introducing into the world an invention which would make further wars practically impossible. That we were not alone in this thought is evidenced by the fact that the French Peace Society presented us with medals on account of our invention. We thought governments would realize the impossibility of winning by surprise attacks, and that no country would enter into war with another of equal size when it knew that it would have to win by simply wearing out the enemy.”

He lived long enough to see the bomb being dropped from an airplane, and said this:

“I once thought the aeroplane would end wars. I now wonder whether the aeroplane and the atomic bomb can do it. It seems that ambitious rulers will sacrifice the lives and property of all their people to gain a little personal fame.”

>It is hilarious how Japan is so good in ship building while being shit in aviation designing.
They are good...at working around limitations. The only problem is that their Navy is of higher importance and they refuse to share anything with the army.

Pic related is a bad example of working around with limitations.
