Item description

Zero! by Masatake Okumiya and Jiro Horikoshi with Martin Caidin Zero! Masatake Okumiya and Jiro Horikoshi with Martin Caidin New York: Ballantine Books Copyright 1956 Second printing April 1957 Ballantine F 201 310 pages The binding is broken in the middle, the four photograph pages are detached. The pages are clean but tanned. The cover is scuffed, shows some edge wear and the spine is creased. Acceptable. Paperback. Zero! tells for the first time the absorbing and historically important inside story of the greatest naval war in American history--as seen by the enemy. Masatake Okumiya served as a flying officer in most of the sea-air battles of the Pacific. Jiro Horikoshi is Japan's leading aeronautical engineer and designer of the famous Zero fighter. From the crushing attack on Pearl Harbor through victories in the Philippines, the sinking of the Prince of Wales and Repulse, the battles of the Coral Sea and of Midway, to the final months of the war, this is the account of Japan's gamble for victory and of her bitter defeat under the pounding blows of the American B-20 bombers.
