	Japanese nationalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)

		After the Japanese surrender in August 1945, the whole structure was dismantled by the Allied occupation authorities in the whole Japanese Empire and Japanese-held territories.

		Among these are the US systems for aircraft and missiles as well as the codenames given to Soviet aircraft.
		This method consisted of a letter to indicate the aircraft's function, a sequential number to indicate a specific aircraft type (but unlike the USN system, the number 1 was retained), and a letter to indicate the manufacturing company.
		Because the correct designations of Japanese aircraft were often not known to the Allies, simple codenames were assigned to them instead.

		And a few foreign designed or built aircraft entered Japanese service, and these were given an alphabetical type rather than a numeric one, based on either the country of origin (Type I Heavy Bomber, for the Italian Fiat B.R. 20) or the manufacturer's name (Type LO Transport for the U.S. Lockheed Model 14).

		One of the most interesting of the facts that one may come across is that many talented German Aircraft designers TRAINED Japanese aircraft design engineers during the 1920's and early 30's, because the Germans were prohibited by the Treaty of Versailles to engage in the design of war planes in their own country.
		The book contains not only information on the various models of each aircraft with views and pictures and their performance stats, but when and with what units the planes were placed in service, production numbers by manufacturer, paint schemes, the Allied code name development, aicraft engines and armaments and great narratives on each plane.
		Every aircraft is featured with technical data, a three view plan and a short text depicting its development and basic operational records.

	Amazon.ca: Books: Sunburst: The Rise of the Japanese Naval Air Power, 1909-1941 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Serving as a sequel to Kaigun, the prize-winning study of the surface and sub-surface forces of the Imperial Japanese Navy, this work illuminates the rise of Japanese naval aviation from its genesis in 1909 to its thunderbolt capability on the eve of the Pacific War.
		Peattie states that the Japanese made errors in the design of their carries since most of the planes were parked in the hangers and not on the take off and landing strip of the carriers like their American counterparts and this made it difficult for Japanese crews to rearm and refuel aircraft.
		It traces how Japan developed naval aircraft which in 1942 were able to outperform allied aircraft but which became quickly obsolete and were shot out of the skies with ease from 1943 onwards.
