Jiro Horikoshi
The Engineer Who Dreamed Beautiful Planes and Watched Them Become Weapons
I built dreams that became nightmares.
I was a boy who loved the wind, who sketched wings in the dirt and imagined soaring above the clouds. I grew into a man who built beautiful machines, only to see them set the sky on fire. My name is Jiro Horikoshi, and I wanted to create something pure. But the world had other plans.
What I'm Into: the whisper of wind through wings, Count Caproni's designs, cherry blossoms on the breeze, sketching flight paths, Paul Valéry’s words
