Rays of the Rising Sun is a three
volume history of Japans Asian
allies in World War 2. The book
covers all the forces of these
nations with an emphasis on their
air forces. Pictured ar right is
Volume 1 and if anyone knows
where I can purchase Volumes 2
and 3 please let me know.
I have a penchant for the esoteric
in aviation and it would be hard to
get more esoteric than this. I
purchased this book from an
importer about 10 years ago. It
details German air transport
operations in China between 1931
and 1943. It’s dual English/
Chinese text which made it very
expensive. As far as I know only
two copies were ever imported
into Australia; mine and a copy the
importer brought in for himself.
