Thank you Dan!

Also, thanks to EAA Zack, Graham and everyone who supported my work in Japan since 1999.

Please feel free to post any Japanese warbird news on the blog.

Thank you guys!

This book took eight years and too much work. However, it turned out great! Over 200 rare photos, aircraft profiles and unpublished WW II Japanese vet stories from Pearl Harbor to the end of the war.

Check back to see the gallery, blog, etc.

Take care,

Ron

Ron,

Of course, I knew the book was going to include some profiles, but what will the final count be? I'm thinking about how valuable this might be for the modelers out there. Am I correct in assuming that George Z. is responsible for painting them all?

Dan K. & All,

The book is around 300 pages, 8 1/2 x 11 hardback with over 200 rare photos, ten color a/c profiles (hand-painted by George Z.) and lots more artwork such as an accurate Pearl Harbor strike chart, Japanese Air Base "map", etc.

It should be out sometime in July - hopefully in time for the EAA Show!

Regards,

Ron W.
