Not really an interview, but this is a translation of a book by Saburo Sakai, another ace. It's a pretty good read that I'm sure a lot of people here would enjoy.

Saburo Sakai's Samurai! paints a fascinating first-person perspective of Japanese air craft throughout the war. At the beginning, according to his accounts, the Zeroes were flying circles around the American aircraft in the Pacific Theater. They were lighter, more maneuverable and the pilots were rigorously vetted and trained (like samurai). It wasn't until the introduction of the Hellcat and the dwindling number of Japanese pilots that the Zero's superiority was lost.
