  1. We have seen what happens when paratroopers(and subsequently air force) aren't independent and answer to either the navy(Rikusentai) or the army(Teishin Shudan). More specific to IJN or IJA. To put it simply, they DIDN'T fare better. As person above me already noted, air force just employed transferred army officers or those, who had finished army officer school and had combat experience of leading troops. Wtf were you thinking, that they're lead by pilots?:D There's pros and cons to having all of those, be their independent, subdivision or integrated. P.S.: and independent paratrooper corps also aren't a panacea. Consult russian VDVs that drowned near Odessa.
