In aerial combat over China and the Pacific, he was officially credited with destroying 27 enemy aircraft. Akamatsu was known as a troublemaker and trickster. Many of his air victories were obtained while drunk. Despite this, his supervisors stood behind him, as did his fellow pilots who frequently defended and covered for him. Henry Sakaida confirmed that Akamatsu flew for more than 8,000 flight hours. At the end of the war, Akamatsu flew the Mitsubishi J2M Raiden fighter.{{sfn|Sakaida|2002|pp= 87-88}} Akamatsu was credited with shooting down 11 enemy aircraft over China in the Second Sino-Japanese War, including four in a single engagement near Nanchang on 25 February 1938. In the opening months of the Pacific War, he served in the Philippines and Dutch East Indies campaigns. From January 1944 until the end of the war, Akamatsu flew out of Atsugi Air Base, defending Tokyo from Allied air attacks. After the war, Akamatsu worked as a fish search pilot for the Kōchi Fishery Association and later ran a small cafe in Kōchi. After struggling for years with alcoholism, Akamatsu died of pneumonia on 22 February 1980.{{sfn|Sakaida|2002|p= 87-88}} ReferencesNotes1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.asisbiz.com/il2/Zero/A6M2-21-302Kokutai-3D-126-Akamatsu.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130625162413/http://www.asisbiz.com/il2/Zero/A6M2-21-302Kokutai-3D-126-Akamatsu.html|dead-url=yes|archive-date=2013-06-25|title=Asisbiz aircraft profile of Mitsubishi A6M2-21 Zero Unit: 302nd kokutai Serial: 3D-126 Pilot - Sadaaki Akamatsu.
