The second volume of the publication on the aircraft carriers of the Imperial Japanese Navy by Hans Lengerer. This is a book, not a model.
Responsibility details are not available.
The publication deals with the aircraft carriers of the Imperial Japanese Navy and it is the second part of a series. The author is Hans Lengerer, a longtime researcher focused on the Japanese war fleet. The extent of the volume, the picture section and the language edition are stated by the publisher; the title is in English.
Japan was among the first navies to build a ship designed from the keel up as a carrier of aircraft, and it obtained its other large carriers by converting hulls originally meant for heavy gun ships. It is precisely from this that their unusual shapes spring, for instance the offset island superstructure or the arrangement of funnels angled out over the side. In the war in the Pacific, aircraft carriers then decided battles without the opposing formations ever sighting each other.
It will be appreciated by readers interested in naval history and by modelers building ships. On vessels as intricate as these it tends to be precisely the period literature that helps in deciding on the layout of the deck, on the placement of the armament or on the shade of the paint in a particular period. It is useful for collectors as well, who are looking for the context of a finished model and want to know what stood on the deck and why.
This is a printed publication. It is not a kit nor a finished model and none of that is included in the delivery. The book is sold separately; the other volumes of the series have to be obtained on their own, unless stated otherwise. Paper books are moreover sensitive to damp, so store them standing upright and in a dry place.
