Historically, these planes dominated the sky in China before WWII. The Japanese were very selective of who they trained to become fighter pilots. Hence why there is now a quest for Houshou that allows one of these at +7 and *max to be traded for a skilled crew member. You're figuratively taking one of the ACE pilots from the China missions and giving him a new plane. I recommend reading "Samurai!" by Saburo Sakai. Fantastic book.
