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.

Regards,

Leendert
