Description
This is the second volume in the Japanese Secret Project series, compiled by popular demand after the great success of the first volume. This popularity reveals that Secret and X-Plane aircraft projects remain highly popular with historians, enthusiasts, modelers, and the flight sim community. Surprisingly, secret Japanese planes of World War 2 remain an area that has not been extensively covered due to scarcity of information. They do, however, have a large base of interest; the vast number of aircraft featured within this book actually flew or were in development. As with the first volume, the book is divided into two sections dedicated to the two air forces of the IJA and IJN, with more than forty aircraft examined, each with its history, variants, performance, and any combat records laid out in an easy-to-read fashion. This is beautifully complemented by stunning color renditions of the aircraft in combat and color profiles of genuine markings and camouflage.
