  • Eagles of Mitsubishi" by Jir-O Horikoshi, Shojiro Shind

    Eagles of Mitsubishi" by Jir-O Horikoshi, Shojiro Shindo (1992, Paperback, Reprint) This book, Written by the Chief Design Engineer, is of a very misunderstood aircraft. This explains why the aircraft never received armor, self sealing fuel tanks, possessed poor dive performance, and many other problems, as seen by the Western eyes. It also explains, with reference to the original design criteria, how it came to be, and it's revolutionary performance for the time.

It is a very worthwhile read, and although easy to read, it yet will impress you with all the information and facts in every paragraph and chapter. I can only recommend that you ...

  • Great story of an amazing fighter plane

    This book is not only a story of one of Japan’s greatest fighters but also of the engineer who faced an almost insurmountable problems and challenges in the design. All engineers should read this book. It serves as an inspiration to anyone who is passionate about his work.
