Searchers never found the wreckage of his N1K2-J Shiden-Kai fighter or recovered his body. Both, maybe? Whichever is true, Kanno vanished in August 1945 while dogfighting P-51s escorting a flight of B-24 bombers. Now I’m confused about whether Kanno was a raging bully who knifed a dog to death or a “literary boy” who formed reading circles at school. If you’ve ever tried that you know it does not always work. To get a feel for the real world characters involved in this isekai tale I tried reading about WWII fighter ace Naoshi Kanno, but his Wiki entry seems to have been machine-translated from the original Japanese. Included in the menagerie of fighters from Earth are samurai warrior Shimazu Toyohisa, Joan of Arc, and Hitler! Drifters is a howling tornado of all-out action and staggering imagination. Legions of monsters led by the malefic Black King threaten the annihilation of both human and non-human races. Warriors and warlords from Earth’s history-”Drifters”-are transported to an alien world and employed to help the non-human races defend themselves in a worldwide civil war.
