Description

This technohistory, a genre invented by the author, is the history of the production and use of the famous Zero fighter aircraft, the finest "dogfighter" in the air for most of World War II. Written with an eye to detail and to poignant moments in the Zero's history, the narrative presents World War II from the Japanese point of view. Ultimately more than the history of an airplane - though the Zero is presented with due respect - this book offers a presentation of the Japanese character and world view.

Author Biography:

AKIRA YOSHIMURA invented the technohistory genre which is so popular in Japan and the U.S. Born in Tokyo in 1927, he started to write while a student at Gakushuin University. He has published over 50 books, many of them technohistories. Zero Fighter was a best seller in Japan, selling over 300,000 copies.
