Re: The birth of the Imperial Japanese Army Aviation
I think that some editing would be good to make the article more readable. Day-to-day chronicle makes it little hard to see the consistent story. I would also like to have seen the date when IJAAF (or/and the preceeding organization) was formally founded.
Also the timeline could have gone little further - up to 1918/1919/1920 - just find some well-founded good point to stop the story at that time. Maybe 1918? - Japan participated in WW1 and there were also lots of lessons to be learned about the airwar after WW1. Iīm sure that IJA (or its aviation specialists) studied the aereal warfare experience of WW1.
I have read that some Japanese pilots participated in the WW1 in Europe - maybe sent there by IJA to adquire experience? It is also worth of mentioning that Japanese Naval Aviation was quite advanced in early 1910īs, and IJNīs floatplanes were used against Germans in 1914.
Thanks for the contribution to make the pioneers of the IJAAF known.
