    [synopsis] => An extensive guide to Japan's Naval Air Force Fighter Units and their ace pilots during conflicts in the 1930s and '40s, now in English.



 The book begins by looking at the land- and aircraft carrier-based navy fighter units and their operations from 1932 to 1945, as well as their history and achievements. This is followed with biographical details for all pilots who claimed eight or more aerial victories.



 The thorough appendix provides detailed listings of all pilots known to have claimed five or more victories (and thus considered to be "aces"), listings of the graduation from training of all Japanese Navy fighter pilots, and of fighter pilot casualties. Photographs, maps, and artist's side-view drawings and paintings of aircraft relevant to each of the units are also included.



 This revised edition is a companion volume to Japanese Army Air Force Fighter Units and Their Aces, 1931–1945.
