Interesting Manuscript Outline of the Japanese Air Force, 1944

JF Ptak Science Books   Quick Post

“Jap Air Force”  is a short outline on the structure of the air force of the Japanese Imperial Army, written as classroom notes (ca. 1944) by a naval student of the Naval Air Combat Information School at Quonset Point, Rhode Island.  It is a section of a larger notebook from the class of February 1944, with nearly all of the offset pages from type originals are marked as “restricted”.  The diagram that leads the three pages of notes is 3″x8″ in the original, and is a bit remarkable for how much information it contains and organizes in such a small area.  I reproduce the text below:
