Japanese Secret Projects Experimental Aircraft of the IJA and IJN 1939-1945

 

Scarcity of information over the years has meant that secret Japanese planes of World War 2 remain an area of aviation history that is largely undiscovered. Despite this, they have a large base of interest as unlike the majority of secret Luftwaffe programs that were resigned to the drawing board, the vast number of aircraft featured within this book were in development, with many taking to the skies amidst the chaos of World War 2.

This thrilling new addition to the spectacular ‘Secret Projects’ series examines the two air forces of the IJN and IJA, with a total of 42 aircraft examined, each with its history, performance and combat records displayed. This is beautifully complimented by stunning colour renditions of the aircraft in combat and colour profiles of genuine markings and camouflage. Secret and X-Plane aircraft projects remain highly popular with historians, enthusiasts, modellers and the flight sim community, and this fascinating look at the largely untouched world of Japanese secret projects will be a gripping read for all from start to finish.
