Stratus/MMP has published a second edition of the book: Japanese Submarine Aircraft

Japanese Submarine Aircraft book is out!

A unique and richly illustrated book exploring one of the most fascinating and little-known chapters in the history of aviation and naval warfare: Japanese aircraft operated from submarines.

Authors Ryusuke Ishiguro and Tadeusz Januszewski delve into the concept, design, and operational use of submarine-launched reconnaissance and bomber floatplanes. This comprehensive study includes:

detailed technical data and service history of aircraft such as the Yokosho E6Y1, Watanabe E9W1, Kugisho E14Y1 "Glen", and the Aichi M6A Seiran bomber,
accounts of key missions — including over Pearl Harbor, Sydney, and Melbourne,
technical drawings, colour profiles, rare archival photos, and colour profiles of the aircraft
analysis of planned but unrealised operations like the Panama Canal attack and biological weapon missions.

Based on rare Japanese and Western sources, this is the first in-depth look at the concept of the "underwater aircraft carrier." A must-have for aviation enthusiasts, WWII historians, researchers, and model builders alike.
