Nemoto's Travels

This book is the illustrated diary of Imperial Japanese Navy float plane pilot Warrant Officer Nemoto Kumesako, dating from the early months of the Pacific War. His recollections offer an intimate perspective into his life, along with insights into Japanese thinking of the times. Unusually, these memoirs are presented in a style consistent with the Japanese manga (illustrated cartoon) format.

A nice book for flying boat researchers provides a different perspective of a Japanese float plane pilot - great companion reading to books about the allied flying boats like the Catalina PBY.
