Year: 1997 Language: english Author: Lacroix E. Genre: History Publisher: Chatham Publishing ISBN: 1861760582 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 903 Description: The Imperial Japanese Navy of World War II was the third largest in the world and had some of the most powerful warships of the time. This book is one of the best English language works on a specific subject, that of the cruisers of the Japanese Navy during World War 2. During the early phases of World War 2, Japanese cruisers posted an impressive combat record. The authors are experts on the IJN. For the modeler and historian, all aspects of Japanese heavy and light cruisers are illustrated, including armament, profile drawings, and operational histories. Some of the successes and failures of Japanese design, including the Takao class, possibly the most successful Japanese heavy cruisers to the Mogaim class, which attempted to place a heavy armament on a lightly constructed hull and were considerably overweight and later rebuilt, are explained in great detail. The profile drawings are well detailed, albeit extremely small; however they are useful in showing the arrangements of the ships. For the modeler and naval historian, this is a must book.
