WWII Imperial Japanese Navy Midget Submarine Attack Book Diego Suarez Sydney Ko

  
A rare original 1943 (Showa 18) first edition, "Dainiji Tokubetsu Kogekitai" (The Second Special Attack Unit), documenting the Imperial Japanese Navy's midget submarine attacks, including the Diego Suarez and Sydney operations. This book features detailed firsthand accounts, unit member profiles, and contemporary photographs. Such books, especially covering Ko-hyoteki (midget submarine) operations, are exceptionally hard to find, with most copies lost during or after the war. These daring missions, involving Type A Ko-hyoteki midget submarines, represent a unique chapter in WWII naval history.

The book also includes memorial pages for the crew, rare battle photos, and original period illustrations, making it invaluable for collectors, historians, and anyone interested in Japanese naval special attack operations. Own a Piece of History.
