Offered by Over The Blue Horizon is a nicely-done Famous Airplanes of the World (FAOW) Black Cover volume on Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) Reconnaissance Seaplanes. Volume 47 of the series, and published in 1994, this invaluable reference work includes aircraft such as the YOKUSUKA E1Y, NAKAJIMA E4N2, KAWANISHI E7K2 ALF, NAKAJIMA E8N DAVE, WATANABE E9W SLIM, YOKOSUKA E14Y GLEN, MITSUBISHI F1M PETE, AICHI E13A JAKE, KAWANISHI E15K NORM, and the AICHI E16A PAUL. Scroll down for pictures! The FAOW series began publication in the late 1960s and are highly illustrated monographs focusing on a specific aircraft or family of aircraft – in this case, reconnaissance aircraft of the IJN. Text is in Japanese, but the photographs, scale line drawings, cut-away drawings, cockpit diagrams, close-up detail drawings and color profiles transcend the written word and have appealed to aircraft hobbyists to this day. The formats and covers have slightly changed over the years. Originally, the FAOW covers were white and beginning in 1971, changed to Blue. In 1979, the FAOW covers changed to a chart or graph-paper background, and then in 1986, changed to the current Black Cover series (as is this one on the IJN Reconnaissance Seaplanes). This 88 page, 7.25 x 10.25 inch softcover, provides exceptional coverage of these important IJN aircraft, and condition of the book is brand-new.
