    Eagles of Mitsubishi" by Jir-O Horikoshi, Shojiro Shindo (1992, Paperback, Reprint) This book, Written by the Chief Design Engineer, is of a very misunderstood aircraft.

  • Great story of an amazing fighter plane

    This book is not only a story of one of Japan’s greatest fighters but also of the engineer who faced an almost insurmountable problems and challenges in the design. All engineers should read this book. It serves as an inspiration to anyone who is passionate about his work.
