Japanese Paratroop Forces of World War II: Elite

Autor Gordon L. Rottman Ilustrat de M. Chappell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2005
Osprey's examination of Japan's parachute units of World War II (1939-1945). For the first time in English, this book offers a concise but fact-packed account of the organization, equipment, and all operations of Japan's small but elite wartime parachute forces. Correcting and amplifying previous accounts based on wartime intelligence, it traces the Imperial Army's Raiding Regiments and the Imperial Navy's parachute-trained Yokosuka 1st & 3rd Special Naval Landing Forces from the first trials units, through their successful assaults in early 1942, to the last desperate battles and raids of 1944ߝ45. The text is illustrated with rare photographs, and meticulously reconstructed color artwork of the men and their gear.

Recenzii

"The book concisely encompasses the paratroops' organization, equipment and operations ... The history includes the parachute-trained units' first tirals, their first successful assaults in early 1942, and raids and battles of 1944-45. Color illustrations of the Japanese troops and their equipment are accompanied by rare photographs." -Tony Little, Toy Soldier & Model Figure (April 2008)
