IJN SUBMARINE OPERATIONS Japanese Navy MARU SPECIAL VOL 110 U-Boats in Pacific

Description: Offered by Over The Blue Horizon and recently obtained in Tokyo is a venerable but still very well-regarded Japanese MARU SPECIAL: “IMPERIAL JAPANESE NAVY SUBMARINE OPERATIONS,” Volume 110, April 1986. The MARU SPECIAL series was published from 1975 to 1987 and each of the 135 volumes focused on a naval vessel, family of vessels, or campaign, most dealing with the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN). The MARU SPECIALs offered a very popular combination of period photographs (some with rare detail), well-done line drawings, and affordability. They were printed with Japanese text, but regardless of the difficulty of translation, the MARU SPECIALs remain very popular with naval historians and advanced military modelers and these out-of-print gems are still frequently referenced. This specific MARU SPECIAL features IJN submarine operations starting with the Pearl Harbor attack and concluding with special operations (kamikaze) submarines as well as the surrender of the large I-400 class super-subs. It also includes a short but fascinating look at German U-boats in the Pacific.This 88-page, 7.25 x 10.25 inch vintage classic has some superb b/w photographs, and condition is VERY GOOD with light shelf wear to the covers. Otherwise, it is very clean and bright -- it is in great shape and all set to round out your IJN library!
