Published by Chartwell Books Inc, New York, NY, 1985. 1st Edition. Hardbound, no DJ. Size 4to (up to 12'' tall). Condition: Nr Fine. 61 Pgs. ISBN 0890098999. Detailed descriptions and full technical data of more than 55 warplanes. Dozens of action photos, color profiles, cutaways and line drawings. Both Italy and Japan were involved in warfare long before Germany's invasion of Poland signaled the start of WWII, and both had impressive traditions of warplane designs. Ultimately, neither country proved able to sustain the development and production of competitive new types, but the intriguing variety of aircraft that emanated from opposite sides of the globe form a fascinating counterpoint to the Allies' more lethal machines.
