This meticulously researched volume chronicles the combat history of the 3\/202 Kokutai, a frontline Japanese naval air group whose pilots flew some of the most iconic aircraft of the Second World War, including the legendary Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter. Drawing on detailed unit records, technical data, and period photography, the authors reconstruct the group's order of battle, its aircraft markings, and the tactical engagements that defined its wartime service across the Pacific theatre.\n\nCo-authored by Waldemar Pajdosz and Andre R. Zbiegniewski and published by Polish specialist imprint Kagero — renowned for its rigorous, monograph-style treatments of aviation history — 3\/202 Kokutai sits firmly within a tradition of highly authoritative reference works aimed at serious historians and scale modellers alike. The volume presents an extraordinary level of technical and historical detail, including colour profile artwork that brings the unit's distinctive aircraft liveries vividly to life. For anyone seeking to understand the men and machines that made Japan's naval air arm a formidable force in the early years of the Pacific War, this is an indispensable primary reference that raises as many fascinating questions as it answers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572617580763,"sku":"2026100011433-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b93f82f0-2fbc-4ace-9549-fd3d6adb2a8e.png?v=1791166941","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100011433-secondhand-3-202-kokutai","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
