So little interest & effort went into preserving the heritage and bravery of these elite aerial warriors of the "Rising Sun"! I am so glad to have found this and added it to my Osprey books collection of the WWII aces. I also love the books for the awesome full color covers rendered by the great aviation artist; Layne Wiley. I will continue to add these books to my collection as time and opportunity allow.

I am interested in World War II aviation, especially the Pacific Theatre of operations. The Osprey Aces series of books is an excellent source of information about aircraft used in WW I , WW II, and beyond. Every book in the series has great color profiles of the subject, interesting period photos, and a good narrative. Very educational!! There is nothing about this book that I dislike. It is a good investment for the historian or modeler wishing to learn about Japanese Navy pilots and their planes during World War II.
There is a lot of information about allied , german, and british aircarfts and pilots , but near nothing about Japanese . An this book fills that gap. In this book I found some very iteresting and unknown information , as that most japanese pilot were only enlisted men. Very few officers...¡¡¡¡¡ Also some true and amazing stories of some air combats and more. In all , the price was very good and the book brings very good information and pictures , that helps you to understand too,part of the history.
As with the Japanese Army aces book, the volume only occasionly compares Japanese claims against official US/Allied records of losses which would be informative.
