Japanese Special Naval Landing Forces: Uniforms and equipment 1932–45 de Gary Nila

Japanese Special Naval Landing Forces: Uniforms and equipment 1932–45: Men-at-Arms, cartea 432

Autor Gary Nila, Robert A. Rolfe Ilustrat de Christa Hook
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2006
The spearhead of Japan's assault landing operations both in China pre-Pearl Harbor, and in US and British territory post-Pearl Harbor, was provided by the Special Naval Landing Forces - 12 numbered battalion-size Imperial Japanese Navy units. They garrisoned a number of the islands which the US Marines then had to re-claim in some of the bloodiest battles of the Pacific War of World War II (1939-1945). These included the infamous battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the elite force which has never before been examined in such detail in English, covering weapons and equipment as well as uniform and insignia.
