Dennis & Larry thank you both for the replies. I hope to commence on the China Theatre Monographs imminently.
Larry, I have a question about the OOBs you mentioned in your last post. I'm going to use a JNAF OOB (O/T I know) to illustrate my question. Hitherto I've largely used used Leo Niehorster's pages for Japanese OOB,so looking at the following OOB for the Suzuka Kokutai (which may anyway be wrong in detail - at least it differs from the OOB in Japonskie Samoloty Marynarki)
http://www.niehorster.org/014_japan/...ka_naf-11.html
My question does the fiche you suggest have more detail for 7/8 Dec 1941,specifically does it actually list by type and number the 144 mixed aircraft,or,as I suspect, the information on the Niehorster site and indeed Japonskie Samoloty Marynarki,actually comes from a JNAF OOB fiche?
Regards,
Clint
