5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent!,
By Jean-Pierre Valenzuela (Burbank, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Japanese Aircraft of the Pacific War (Hardcover)
I am a WW2 aircraft afficionado and I am all too familiar with aircraft used in the European theatre. But when it came to Japanese aircraft I have been limited to being familiar with only the famous Zero's and Betty's. This book by Rene J Francillon introduced to me the entire Japanese military aircraft inventory of the war! It begins by providing a background on Japan's aircraft industry during that era as well the history of its army and naval air forces. A section on designation systems, camouflage and markings is also provided before it covers in detail all the Army and Navy aircraft. It closes with appendices on lesser known types, engines and armament, and a designation index including an alphabetical list of the allied code name system. Each aircraft presented includes specifications, 3-view line drawings, several photos and are briefly discussed with very good narration. Very easy on the eyes and a wonderful read. This is the only book I'll ever need on Japanese aircraft.

This review is from: Japanese Aircraft of the Pacific War (Hardcover)
I got this book about 2 years ago after seeing it in my local library and it still is the absolute best reference I have seen on Japanese aircraft in the Pacific during WWII. Lots of pics, great explanations and loads of interesting aircraft help make this book the pinnacle reference source of Japanese airpower during WWII.

This review is from: Japanese Aircraft of the Pacific War (Hardcover)
This book is a complete guide of the japanese aircraft of WWII. Every aircraft is featured with technical data, a three view plan and a short text depicting its development and basic operational records. The author is fully knowledgeable in the topic. Most aircraft are also shown in black and white photographs. This is a good reference book and should be in the bookshelf of everybody seriously interested in Pacific war history.
