1945 Air Asahi Japanese Airplane Newspaper Japan WWII WW2 Aircraft Helicopter

Description

From the estate of a naval pilot who brought it back from post-WWII Japan, a vintage 1945 copy of “Air Asahi” magazine, combined issues 8 and 9. This was an airplane enthusiast’s magazine that went out of business in 1945 when the US occupation began. I see fighter planes and helicopters and a lot of really detailed information.  About 8″ x 10″, 32 pages including covers, softcover.
The magazine in very good condition with minor dog earing and tanning. The binding is still tight. No tears or writing.
A rare item and a superb awesome addition to any collection or library. I
ship every day the post office is open with your item safely packed for
protection and always combine shipping. Please see my store for more museum grade historical
artifacts.
Background: From the
estate of a Navy pilot who entered the war just in time to be stationed
off the coast of Japan, preparing for the invasion, when the atomic bomb
was dropped. He flew seaplanes – Martin Mariner PBMs – but was sent to Combat Air
Intelligence school and mostly seems to have been kept very busy on
staff with intelligence work. He was later a state representative and
senator, and a successful businessman. He was a person who kept
EVERYTHING. I recently acquired a collection of WWII pieces from his
estate, along with a good amount of political, civil defense, cold war,
and states’ rights material.
