Reviews

[James Crawford · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book 2 in a series of books on Japanese Army Fighters. The book is filled with very specific information about the planes, their use and development. It also includes some schematics of some of the planes, some color illustrations of the planes, and a whole lot of photographs of the planes on the ground and in action. If the plane had been given a name by the U.S. military, that also is listed.
