Who (or what) was Lucien Zacharoff, who wrote in 1941 a few articles about the Japanese air power in newspapers, such as NYT?

Thanks.

Thanks Ross.
I have already found these articles.
But I still can't figure out what he was more specificaly: a journalist, an expert in armament, a scientist?

Chris,

Did a search on the NYT website. Zacharoff was an "editor and director of the consultation panel". Also: "associate editor of Aircraft Publication and an authority on mechanized warfare". Wrote and edited several books on those subjects.

Born 28 June 1907, died August 1975 in Brooklyn, NY.
