2015/11/21

Product Description (From the "BOOK" database) In response to the success of the new weapon "tank" in World War I, the Japanese Army began research and development of tanks. In 1929, the first domestically produced practical tank, the Type 89 light tank, was made provisional. The Type 89, which became the main battle tank of the Japanese Army, later developed into a medium tank, and was deployed not only by the Army but also by the Navy Land Corps, becoming a representative of the early Japanese tanks. In this book, the Type 89 medium tank is explained in detail, focusing on a large number of photographs collected by the author. Photos that clearly show the differences between each model and the details of each part of the car body, as well as dynamic appearances on the training grounds and battlefields, are thoroughly recorded. In addition to the exterior, there are plenty of internal photos of the car body and turret. This is a must-have book for researching the Type 89 medium tank. Biography of the author (From "BOOK author introduction information") Yoshikawa / Kazuatsu Born in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture in 1964. While working as an art director at an advertising agency, he continues to research mainly on the Italian, German, and Japanese military weapons, military history, and military uniforms, and has serialized articles in military and model magazines. In addition, I have published a self-published photo book based on the photos of military uniforms, tanks, and firearms that I have collected so far (this data was published at the time this book was published).
