Japanese Submarine Aircraft

JAPANESE SUBMARINE AIRCRAFT - 2nd Edition

 A fascinating and exceptionally detailed publication presenting one of the most intriguing and little-known chapters in the history of aviation and naval warfare – Japanese aircraft operating from submarines. Authors Ryusuke Ishiguro and Tadeusz Januszewski describe step by step the development of the concept, the aircraft designs, and the operational use of submarines equipped with hangars and catapults for seaplanes.

The book includes:

• complete technical data and histories of aircraft such as the Yokosho E6Y1, Watanabe E9W1, Kugisho E14Y1 Glen, and the Aichi M6A Seiran bomber,
• accounts of the most important combat missions – including over Pearl Harbor, Sydney, and Melbourne,
• technical plans, colour aircraft profiles, and unique archival photographs,
• the history of the unfulfilled offensive against the Panama Canal and the planned use of biological weapons.
