For far too long this site has been without a sourcing system, especially since I spend so much time researching each bit of information.
Below is a list of sources I use to get the data, artwork, pictures, and profiles you see on this website. Right now its only books and documents, but soon there will be a section for websites as well.
The list is far from complete, and it will be updated as I find the time. This is only phase one. The next phase will involve going back to each unit and adding specific
sources to each one, so as to better ensure the information integrity on on an individual basis. This will take some time, but it's a top priority.Title Author Publisher Year Japanese Army Handbook 1939 - 1945 A. J. Barker Ian Allan Publishing 1979 Basic Ballistics Anthony G.
