During World War II, Japanese fighters, such as the famed Zero,
were among the most respected and feared combat aircraft in the
world. But for decades following the defeat of Japan in 1945, a
variety of political and economic factors prevented Japan from
developing its own modern national fighter. This changed in the
1980s. Japan began independently developing its first world-class
fighter since World War II. After several years of contentious
negotiations, the Japanese agreed to work with the United States to
cooperatively develop a minimally modified F-16, the FS-X. The new
fighter, however, has evolved into a world-class aircraft developed
largely by Japanese industry primarily due to errors committed by
the U.S. side. By the fall of 1995, fifty years after the end of
World War II, the Zero for the 1990s will have made its first
flight, catapulting Japan into the elite ranks of nations capable
of developing the most advanced weapon systems. In Troubled
Partnership, Mark Lorell traces the evolution of the FS-X,
disclosing the conflicting economic and security objectives
advanced by U.S. officials, the flawed U.S. policy of technology
reciprocity, and the challenges of international collaboration. Its
deep intimacy with the interplay of policy and economy will make
this volume of intense interest to political scientists, military
studies specialists, historians, and government officials.
