Another issue of this fine journal signifies that another three months have passed. The lead article features two late war Japanese "paper airplanes"; the JAAF's Kawasaki Ki 119 (no name) and the JNAF's Kawanishi J6K1 Jimpu (Squall). The Ki 119 got as far as the mock-up stage and the Jimpu not quite that far, before both projects were terminated by Boeing B-29s.

Part 2 of JNAF Transport Aircraft Evolution is here, along with Part 4 of Japanese Civil Airlines and Part 15 of Japanese Aero-Engines, 1930-45. As usual, an editorial and kit, book, and decal reviews complete the make up of the issue. The color pages feature three photos of one of the five, or so, two-seat Zeros converted in the field for long range reconnaissance from Rabaul in 1944 and restored in the mid seventies in Melbourne. A color photo of the editor's 1/48 scale model of this plane is also included. An addition to this issue is a membership list showing the SIG currently has 90 members worldwide.
