Seems like a good place to put these manuals, I don't have the first one but does talk about engine oils, superchargers and other stuff.

Pages 6-40 missed in 3rd manual.

Thank you very much

Thank you for your work on these translations. I also was pleased to see the photo of the Ki-1 in the book. I have looked for photos and a good three view of these types to build a flying model. These aircraft were an important step in Japanese aviation.

I am completely amazed at this data. There is nothing with this detail in the US. I am very thankful for your work on this. I will have to clear space on my bench. Thank you again. Why hasn't this history series been translated into English and sold in the west. I used to buy Koku Fan at the hobby shop many years ago but they stopped getting it because I was the only on still buying it.

What can I say.
As always you amaze.
I agree with special ed that so many of the Japanese historical texts do need translation into English so that the majority of the rest of the world can fully enjoy them.
