Re: Opinion needed
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.

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