Fantastic book, it's THE reference for the JNAF. Cover all fighter units in excellent detail, does justice to it's aircraft and has a fascinating section on all the top aces.If you can get your hands on a copy but it!You should also look out for 'Japanese Army Air Force Fighter Units and Their Aces 1931-45'. ISBN 1 902304 89 6Same authors, same quaility format.I just hope that they put out books on the Bomber units of both the JAAF and the JNAF.

You might want to consider the recently published companion volume on the JAAF from Grub Street as well (same authors).
