This item is part of an air service training manual dealing with the defence of airfields. It contains information about the deployment of troops and weaponry, offensive strategy, fortifications, anti-tank measures, anti-aircraft precautions and defensive strategy. This document revealed the basic elements of the Japanese approach to airfield defence and was translated shortly after its capture and distributed widely. |
