About Isoroku Yamamoto:

Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto (1884–1943) served as Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet during the Pacific War. He was instrumental in Japan’s naval strategy, overseeing major operations such as the Pearl Harbor attack (December 7, 1941) and the Battle of Midway (June 1942).

A brilliant strategist and advocate for naval aviation, he was also a key figure in the development of Japan’s aircraft carrier fleet. His leadership was so critical that the U.S. military targeted and successfully shot down his plane in Operation Vengeance (April 18, 1943).
