Air Service?

I have never before seen the JAAF called the "air service". Where does this usage come from? Does it have any justification in the literature (preferably Japanese literature)? For example, the definitive book on this subject in English is Christopher Shores et al, Japanese Army Air Force Fighter Units and Aces, published by Grub Street, more or less a translation of Hata & Izawa's Nihon rikugun sentotai. I'd like to change the title and use "air service" as the redirect. --Cubdriver 21:37, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from Inspectorate General of Aviation

The article, Inspectorate General of Aviation is in dire need of cleanup (and very possibly translation). Perhaps it would be more comfortable being merged into this article? James084 19:34, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Link with Trenchard?

A discussion about a possible link with the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force and Hugh Trenchard, 1st Viscount Trenchard has started at Talk:Hugh_Trenchard,_1st_Viscount_Trenchard#Helping_the_Japanese. Do any editors know of any sources on this, possibly in Japanese? Greenshed (talk) 11:26, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the Mitsubishi A6M Zero

How can a page on the Japanese air force in World War II not include any information on the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, the most well known Japanese airplane used during the war?!? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.68.42.100 (talk) 00:00, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Because this article is about the "Imperial Japanese Army Air Service". The Zero was an Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service aircraft, and so is mentioned in that article rather than here. - BilCat (talk) 03:17, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

German influence

Was the Japanese Army Air Service really based on the German one? The Japanese did take influence from Germany after the Franco-Prussian War, but that was decades before aircraft were invented and deployed in the Italo-Turkish War and Balkan Wars. From my reading, the Japanese brought in a French military mission after World War 1 to help train and educate their air service officers. Is that incorrect? 96.52.16.187 (talk) 01:58, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - they drew initially from the Germans, but after WW1 - the French. NealeWellington (talk) 04:01, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
