This book combines Osprey's 'Aircraft of the Aces 13:
Japanese Army Air Force Aces 1937-45’ and 'Aircraft of the
Aces 22: Imperial Japanese Navy Aces 1937-45’. Very little
has been published in English on the pilots who flew for the
air arms of the Japanese Army and Navy, yet between 1937 and
1945, 150 JAAF and 21 Imperial Japanese Navy pilots achieved
'ace' status. This book relates how the Army aces achieved
their scores, flying over terrain ranging from the Mongolian
plains to the jungles of New Guinea, and how Navy pilots
drew on their experience of fighting over Manchuria, China
and Mongolia to take on Allied forces in the Pacific

A comprehensive pictorial record of the Allied air
assault against Germany in WWII taken from official and
private photographic archives. It was the first time in the
history of warfare that military forces had been able to
wreak such destruction in the enemy heartland and the
photographic record was limited to what could be acomplished
in the frenzy of war. Nevertheless this book contains a huge
selection of graphic and exciting images.
