IJN Uniform Reference '40-'45
Posted by Watchmann on Thursday, December 9, 2010 11:33 AM

Hello,

Does anyone know of a good reference for IJN uniforms used during WWII?  It could be photos or line drawings, online or printed.

Thanks!

Thanks knabria!

That's a pricy one too!  I'll keep my eyes out of a copy.

I did find this one at HLJ, so I ordered it.  It doesn't cover the same time frame, but there is a second volume.

Anyone else have a favorite reference?

I have no exhaustive (or even in-depth) IJN reference.  But, my starting point is not bad, "Uniforms & Insignia of WWII Navies" from Naval Institute Press.  This is a reprint of collected ONI pages for all the belligerents.  It includes both the early and late IJN uniform and insignia details.
