Interesting find, bes! :)

This was hilarious though:

While discussing the differences in air power it's important to note that the Allies had 155 aircraft carriers. The Axis, had only 16 aircraft carriers, 14 with Japan and a couple sailing in the Italian Navy. So most of Japan's Air Force was in the ocean. Unfortunately for them, at the end of the war, most of their air force stayed in the ocean.

;D

This one was another standout, though much less amusing: 

Half of the American servicemen who were captured by the Japanese died in captivity. A tenth of the US Airmen in German hands died in POW camps.
