Kaigun Rakkasan Butai Gokuhi Rikusen Tai "Umi No Kami Hei" No Tatakai (Mitsuhito Sha NF Bunko)

[Machine Translation] Just before the outbreak of war, twenty-six military personnel were secretly selected from each township. Their mission was to create the Navy's first paratroop unit. This is a record of the commander who, through a series of life-threatening drop tests, built up the unit and succeeded in the surprise attacks on Menado and Kupang. The story depicts the unknown history of the paratroopers, including the many casualties in the early days of the unit, the truth about the much-publicized parachuting and white combat, and the phantom B-29 base raid plan.
