(also mentions efforts planned or actually attempted with the Ju 290, Ju 390, and the Ki 77. Overlooks the Me 264 though.) The Rome-Tokyo flight was arguably one of the Regia Aeronautica's finest hours, though unfairly forgotten. https://comandosupremo.com/rome-to-tokyo/

http://www.armouredcarriers.com/japanese-aircraft-carrier-taiho-armoured-flight-decks/ A nice look at the background of the Taihō-class program in general, along with an detailed overview of IJN Taihō herself. The fact that she doubled as a support carrier, for example, is often overlooked.

Hello people! I'm looking for information about the following projects, some pure paper projects, other more serious proposals never come to fruition: -Kaneda battleship: an alleged 1914 study by Commander Kaneda about an half million ton battleship armed with 100 41cm guns in 50 double turrets...

Hi dear people I know that the Japanese navy was testing the IJN Shimakaze destroyer it stayed by one example, so she was one of a kind. Does somebody know there were more paper project destroyers or a further developed version of the IJN Shimakaze?

While cleaning out my deceased Mother-in-law's desk, I found the following (original copy): Newark Evening News April 14, 1945 Jap’s Jet Plane Like Ball of Fire GUAM (U.P.) Sgt. Aril Sumwall, Sidney, Mont., reported he saw a jet-propelled Jap fighter over Tokyo in today’s early-morning B-29...
