I'll bet the WW2 Japanese fighter pilots, who had to be 6' tall or better, must come as a surprise to you?

(Yes, I spend many hours a week watching the History Channel -- when I'm not playing Dom 2.)

That's complete crap The japanese couldn't suit up thier ENTIRE air force with 6 foot tall Japenese. Don't believe everything you see on TV - It's possible though that maybe there was some sort of special unit maybe using some foreign design - or something.. that merely required different pilot dimensions. I mean really, other than the size of the cockpit(which were designed by japs), there's no reason to have tall pilots.
