IJN BATTLESHIPS MUSASHI KONGO HIEI FUSO ISE HYUGA & More! MARU SPECIAL VOL 54

Description: Offered by Over The Blue Horizon and recently obtained in Tokyo is a great issue from the venerable but still very well-regarded Japanese MARU SPECIAL series: “IMPERIAL JAPANESE NAVY BATTLESHIPS”, Volume 54, August 1981. As most of you already know, 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), line drawings, and affordability. They were printed in Japanese but regardless of the difficulty of translation, the MARU SPECIALs remain very popular with military historians and advanced naval modelers and these out-of-print gems are still frequently referenced. This particular MARU SPECIAL features a number of IJN battleships: the MUTSU, NAGATO, MUSASHI, FUSO, YAMASHIRO, KONGO, HIEI, HARUNA, KIRISHIMA, ISE and HYUGA. These capital ships range from capital ships originally built as battlecruisers with service in the First World War, to the ultramodern MUSASHI, the sister ship to the super-battleship YAMATO. This 68-page, 7.25 x 10.25 inch vintage classic has some great photographs, well-done line drawings, and Japanese text. Condition is FAIR+ with a crease to the upper right corner of the back cover and overall shelf wear; otherwise, it is in GOOD shape.
