SAKAIDA Henry
Japanese Army Air Force aces 1937- 45 - London: Osprey, 1997 - 96p. - Osprey Aircraft of the Aces 13 .
English written book on the Japanese Army Air Force (JAAF), and its most successful fighter pilots of no less than 150 that achieved ace status during eight years of near-constant war, and they are all listed in this volume. From the arid plains of the Mongolian border region to the lush jungles of New Guinea, the JAAF was more than a match for the many opponents it fought against for control of the skies. Indeed, even when the mighty Allied war machine proved almost overwhelming from early 1944 onwards, the elite fighter pilots of the various sentais within the JAAF fought on with near-fanatical loyalty in defence of the Home Islands. Aircraft of the Aces 13 and 22 are also available in a single volume as 'Aces of the Rising Sun 1937-1945'.
