Not enough reference material has ever been written about this landmark Japanese Navy fighter which secured the skies over China prior to the outbreak of the Pacific war in December 1941, which fought the in first few battles of that war up until the middle of 1942, and which ultimately led to the design and building of the ubiquitously famous Mitsubishi A6M Zeke or "Zero". Mr. Januszewski has done a marvelous job of exposing this up-until-now totally underexposed Japanese fighter as the great airplane that it was.

This is a book for anyone who is interested in the early Pacific battles of World War II and the obsolescent, yet important, "also-ran" equipment that fought in them.

I highly recommend this book as THE primary source of reference for the A5M Claude.

I bought this book to get a better understanding of the A5M Claude. I have read a few books on the A6M Zero and it had built up my curiosity around Mitsubishi's previous plane, the A5M.

The book is great for reference material, lots of diagrams, pictures and operational data. This book is not so much like a novel as a collection of data and operational history about the A5M.

I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in early war Japanese aircraft.
