Volume Five of this Pacific Profiles series presents the most
accurate colour profiles to date of Japanese Navy land based Zero
fighters in the "South Seas" theatre: New Guinea, Rabaul and the
Solomons. Illustrated by unit are abundant examples of the varied
markings, tail codes, leadership hallmarks and camouflage schemes
which appeared on the thirteen Air Groups (Kokutai) operating in
the theatre from February 1942 to February 1944. Each of the 113
profiles is supported by primary source material including colour
photos, Japanese records, POW interrogations, technical reports,
post-war wreck examinations and Allied intelligence summaries.
These are accompanied by brief histories of each unit and notes on
the changing nature of each unit’s markings. How the late 1942
Japanese Navy restructure impacted these units is also clarified,
along with the rationale and meaning of the ensuing multifaceted
markings systems. Never before have such accurate profiles been
presented. Past errors are corrected, and many new markings
including hokoku (patriotic) Kanji are presented for the first
time. The author is world-renown for his expertise in respect to
the Japanese aerial war in the Pacific.
