Description
RESTRICTED Manual: Japanese Aircraft – ‘Know Your Enemy’ – 1945 This manual, dated April 1945, classified as RESTRICTED, is of particular interest to anyone with an interest in Japanese military aviation, as it covers nearly 42 aircraft listed by their Allied designations, featuring numerous photographs taken in combat situations, notably when they were captured by American troops. Nearly 75 pages of technical data sheets, photographs and silhouettes, compiled in a particularly rare field manual. One of the most striking pages features a series of photographs showing a Betty bomber carrying a ‘Baka’ kamikaze flying bomb being shot down by an American fighter. (Grégory Pons Collection)
