ki 21

Details the full story of the Nakajima built Ki-27 (the name 'Nate' was given to it by the Allies as a means of easy identification, although it was also called Abdul in the China Burma India Theater of World War II). It also gives a complete explanation of how the designations used by the Japanese Army Air Force came about and what they mean.
The book begins with a period background of the world and the development of fighter aircraft in Japan. From there, it discusses the Ki-27's competition as well as its development and employment from the early stages and its operational use from its introduction in the China theatre in 1938 to its almost suicidal combat with the US Navy's F4U Corsairs and F6F Hellcats in the final days of WWII.
Camouflage and markings are also covered and a full explanation is offered for the all-of the different schemes worn by the Ki-27. Again, excellent information on a complex subject fully explained. The book is well illustrated with fifty full colour profile paintings as well as fifty two scrap views showing the squadron markings on the tails.
The book is profusely illustrated throughout with black and white photos. Whilst a few of them are reasonably well known, the vast majority of them are newly published. The quality ranges from excellent sharp and clear ones that look to have been taken by professional photographers to what look like snapshots taken by members of the squadrons themselves.

Takeru Ohyama un joven normal algo pervertido, es aceptado en la Academia Tenbi, en donde los estudiantes combaten utilizando magia. En el primer día, se encuentra de nuevo después de tres años con Haruko Amaya, su amiga de la infancia, también con Inaho Kushiya, una chica que dice ser su novia, y Himegami Kodama, una rubia que quiere matarlo. Todos los estudiantes usan una habilidad especial mientras usan un ítem o arma magica llamados Maken.

Internationally acclaimed for his music for orchestra (17 symphonies and 31 concertos to date), Kalevi Aho has also composed chamber and solo works. The present disc combines six such pieces, ranging across the composer’s career. The earliest work on the disc is the Bach-inspired Sonata for solo violin from 1973, reminding us that during his years at the Sibelius Aacademy (1968 – 71), Aho studied the violin as well as composition. Another early piece, Prelude, Toccata and Postlude, also started out as a solo work – this time for the cello – before developing into a duo. From the other end, chronologically speaking, is the ample Piano Sonata No. 2 from 2016, with a duration of some 25 minutes. This time it is Beethoven who has provided inspiration, and the composer describes the work as ‘a commentary on the Hammerklavier Sonata, in which Beethoven’s motifs are frequently “misquoted” and developed in a different direction.’
