Content overview:
This unique book describes all known designs of Japanese special attack aircraft and flying bombs, such as the Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka, Kawanishi Baika, and lesser-known prototypes used mainly by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service and the Japanese Army. The publication thoroughly analyzes the technical aspects of these machines, presents the background of kamikaze programs, discusses the processes of design and construction, as well as the actual use of these aircraft during offensives in the Pacific – including the Battle of Okinawa and actions against Allied fleets in 1944–1945.

The book is enriched with numerous plans, diagrams, and archival photographs, as well as colorful profile illustrations, making it an invaluable source of knowledge for scale modelers seeking detailed information on camouflage, markings, and technical details of rare Japanese designs from the final stage of World War II.

Who is this book recommended for?
Recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers passionate about World War II aviation, collectors, and aviation historians. It serves as an excellent reference source for building models in 1/72, 1/48, or 1/32 scale.

• Level of difficulty: 1/5 (very accessible)

In our opinion, Japanese Special Attack Aircraft & Flying Bombs EN is a cornerstone for any modeler or historian interested in lesser-known yet fascinating chapters in World War II aviation history. This publication brings a completely new quality to the modeling literature market, thanks to its detail and previously unpublished information.
