The Struggle in Sumatra and the Air Campaign

[edwest2]

The normal publishing model is violated by amateurs and pirates. Based on my research, the internet is becoming less secure moving forward. I work in the book industry and receive frequent updates. Pirate sites are another issue.

The ever reliable and up-to-date Bill Stone at "Stone & Stone Second World War books" reports today:

"Leiden University Press expects to release The Army Air Force Operations in the Invasion of the South later this month [April 2021].
This is the English translation of volume 34 of the Japanese history—Senshi Sosho—with an addendum on the invasion of northern and central Sumatra."

No new page up yet (that I can find) at the Corts Foundation website.

The Army Air Force Operations in the Invasion of the South
Leiden, the Netherlands: Leiden University Press
Forthcoming April 2021
Volume 34 of Senshi Sosho with an addendum on the Invasion of Northern and Central Sumatra
480 pages
___ € (EUR) - hardcover
PDF - free download

"The translation covers the main text of Vol. 34 of the Senshi Sosho minus the chapters on the Philippines, Malaya, and Burma, as well as chapter 4 of Vol. 5 dealing with northern and central Sumatra.

"The Articles of Association of the Corts Foundation limit its activities to the area of the former Dutch East Indies, so we reluctantly had to drop the more detailed chapters on the Philippines, Malaya, and Burma.

Nevertheless, the remainder of the book (the general sections and the chapters on Singapore, Palembang, and Java) give a good description of the whole campaign. "If all goes well, we hope to publish the book in the first half of 2021."
