Japanese Submarine Aircraft

JAPANESE SUBMARINE AIRCRAFT - 2nd Edition

A unique and richly illustrated book exploring one of the most fascinating and little-known chapters in the history of aviation and naval warfare: Japanese aircraft operated from submarines.

Authors Ryusuke Ishiguro and Tadeusz Januszewski delve into the concept, design, and operational use of submarine-launched reconnaissance and bomber floatplanes. This comprehensive study includes:

• detailed technical data and service history of aircraft such as the Yokosho E6Y1, Watanabe E9W1, Kugisho E14Y1 "Glen", and the Aichi M6A Seiran bomber,
• accounts of key missions — including over Pearl Harbor, Sydney, and Melbourne,
• technical drawings, colour profiles, rare archival photos, and colour profiles of the aircraft
• analysis of planned but unrealised operations like the Panama Canal attack and biological weapon missions.

Based on rare Japanese and Western sources, this is the first in-depth look at the concept of the "underwater aircraft carrier." A must-have for aviation enthusiasts, WWII historians, researchers, and model builders alike.
