Wings of the Rising Sun: Uncovering the Secrets of Japanese Fighters and Bombers of World War II
No Customer Reviews
In the early years of the Pacific War, Japanese air power reigned supreme. The only way for the Allies to defeat their enemy was to know it - and for that, they needed to get their hands on Japanese aircraft. Through picking apart and flight testing captured fighters and bombers, both in-theater and in the US, Allied war planners were able to discover the secrets of Japanese air power, allowing them to work out how to combat the threat it posed, and to determine the state of aeronautics technology, development, and advancement in Japan. Richly illustrated throughout with a wealth of rare photographs, Wings of the Rising Sun shows how these investigations, and the resulting intelligence, helped the Allies achieve victory in the Pacific.
