    I read that the Japanese pilots who became aces were not awarded decorations...well, at least when they were alive. Is this true?

    Japaneese officers upon their deaths(combat death) were awarded a promotion to the next grade. Sorry I can't comfirm Japaneese aces not recieving medals while they were alive.
