SOLD OUT!
Comments: An unbelievable book by Model Art. A fantastic publication by a veteran Navy pilot that covers extensively most (if not all) the equipment and the details of the uniforms of the Imperial Japanese Navy pilots. Hundrends of never seen before b/w vintage photos, color photos of original relics and hundreds of highly detailed color illustrations. It is really difficult to describe with words the amount of information in this book. Every tiny detail is thoroughly researched and covered. We only wish and hope to see more publications like this from veteran pilots. Sato Shigeo was first assigned to Tainan Kokutai where he flew Zero fighter, then to Omura Kokutai with the Shiden-Tai, then to TsukubaKu with the 403 Fighter unit. Finished the war with the HimejiKu. Sato Kunihiko is his son and a modeler.
An ABSOLUTE MUST!!!
