JAS Jottings The Quarterly Magazine of the Japanese Aviation SIG of IPMS-UK Vol. 8, No. 4
By Jim Schubert
Here's another scholarly aggregation, in 33 pages, of fascinating information on aviation matters of the Japanese persuasion graced by a very nice perspective drawing of an Aichi E13A1 "JAKE" on the cover. The contents include:
-
JNAF Reconnaissance Seaplane Evolution, Pt.3 This part is of especial interest to me as I have been working, in a very desultory manner, on a monograph on the JAKE for many years now. Maybe some year it'll be finished and published – maybe. this article also gets into the mystery of the Kawanishi E15K2 "NORM", on which Bill Devins and I have done a fair bit of research. This material, on NORM, was published in the, now defunct, Asahi Journal of the, equally defunct, IPMS-USA Japanese Information SIG and Chine Lines the, very much alive, journal of the IPMS-USA Seaplane SIG.
