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. I´m 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 1910´s, and IJN´s floatplanes were used against Germans in 1914.
Thanks for the contribution to make the pioneers of the IJAAF known.
