FINALLY got this one. Nihongun Rokakuki Hiroku (Japanese) by Kazuhiko Osuo; Shigeru Nohara
I had no idea the number of Allied aircraft the Japanese had captured. It also has pics of the captured Hellcat, F4U Corsair, Lagg 3 and P-51C. It also talks about a P-47D that was recovered (44-229068) though no pictures.

I just received two books and will scan and upload the F-8 manual but the binder contents is not as interesting as I had hoped - I will post one of the many Stock Lists just in case others find it more interesting and want more.
I very much doubt that every item in the AAF inventory is covered but was hopeful that these manuals would be more interesting.

Oh, tell us more about that one!
Actually I can Jim, though book hasn't arrived yet but I found a really poor scan of the book years ago and why I ordered the book. First off the book is in English and not Japanese. There are lots of pictures and profiles. Here is a jpeg from the book.

I have not bought this yet, but wanted to give you gents a headsup!!!
This is the 1,200 mile recon mission that resulted in 2 Medal of Honors being awarded.
Zimmerman was the pilots last name if i am not mistaken, Martin Caiden did a short on it in Flying Forts if I recall correctly.
A very cool little book on the Buffalo. Great pictures. Kind of like a great, long magazine article in hard spine book format. Very happy with it.
This book is a real keeper. Great pics and info, especially the build section. I WILL be buying other volumes in this series.
