 Japan's 'Tojo' the barrel shaped Ki-44 Shoki fighter
Up till the date I bought this book (way back in 1978) I only knew about this plane because I had built a 1:72 model of it from Tamiya, if my memory serves me right. This book provided me with some background and development history, but above all it shows what a remarkable variety of painting schemes were used by the Japanse Army Air Force in their different theatres of operation. Though the quality of the -many- photographs leaves something to be desired at times, they are the real thing, and Mr. Bueschel must have gone through many lengths in acquiring them from their Japanese sources.
The original Osprey book was published in the early 1970's and the value and demand was apparently such that Schiffer books has republised it, and they claim theirs is the revised and updated version of this book, one of the all-time Osprey classics about Japanese aviation.
