Beyond Pearl Harbor: The Untold Stories of Japan's Naval Airmen (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780764329326)

Story of the air war in the Pacific through the eyes of the last surviving Imperial Japanese naval aviators of World War II.

Fascinating chronicle through never before published first-hand accounts, wartime diaries, and private photographs.

Living in Japan for over half a decade, the author befriended the survivors of Pearl Harbor, Midway, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima to gather this trove of stories and images.

Meticulously translated and painstakingly researched, all of the veterans' accounts in this book are supported by both official Japanese and Allied records, together with first-hand narratives of American and British participants in these pivotal, historic battles.
