In the Pacific War's early years, Japanese airpower was dominant. The only way for the Allies to defeat their enemy was to know it. Establishing Technical Air Intelligence Units in the Pacific Theater and the Technical Air Intelligence Center in Washington D.C., the Allies were able to begin to reveal the secrets of Japanese airpower.
Fully illustrated throughout with a wealth of previously unpublished photographs, Wings of the Rising Sun explores Allied efforts to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of Japanese airpower during the war years, and how this intelligence helped them achieve victory in the Pacific.
