This is an original Imperial Japanese Army military handbook titled. (“What Every Logistics Soldier Should Know”), supervised by the Army Inspector General of Military Education. The cover is marked. Army Inspector General of Military Education Supervision. This was a compact educational handbook intended for soldiers serving in the Japanese Army’s logistics and transport branch. What Was the Army Inspector General of Military Education? The Army Inspector General of Military Education was one of the most influential organizations within the Imperial Japanese Army. It was responsible for military doctrine, officer education, training programs, and the preparation of official instructional materials used throughout the army. Because this handbook was supervised by that organization, it was not simply a commercial publication but an official educational reference reflecting Imperial Japanese Army training standards. The Forgotten Soldiers of the Japanese Army. The Shichohei (Logistics Corps) were responsible for transporting food, ammunition, equipment, uniforms, and horses to frontline units. In modern terms, they were the military logistics and supply branch. Interestingly, logistics troops often received less prestige than combat arms within the Japanese military culture. A famous wartime saying even mocked them as. Shichohei are not real soldiers. History ultimately proved otherwise. Many military historians consider Japan’s chronic logistical weaknesses to be one of the major factors contributing to its defeat during the Pacific War. As supply lines collapsed, entire units suffered from starvation, ammunition shortages, and lack of equipment. This handbook therefore represents a rarely preserved glimpse into the branch responsible for sustaining the Japanese Army. Imperial and military flags. Orders, decorations, and medals. Army uniforms and equipment. Logistics and transport training. Several attractive fold-out color plates illustrate military insignia, decorations, flags, and uniforms, making this both a practical military handbook and an excellent research reference. Why It Is Scarce. Most Japanese military instructional materials were discarded or destroyed after 1945. Pocket reference books such as this were heavily used by soldiers and rarely survived in good condition. Furthermore, while infantry, aviation, and armored units are widely collected today, surviving materials relating specifically to the Japanese Army’s logistics branch appear much less frequently on the market. An excellent item for collectors of Imperial Japanese military history, military education, uniforms, insignia, and logistics history. Own a Piece of History. International Buyers – Please Note. Thank you for your understanding.

S ARMY, AIR SERVICE AVIATOR, SWEETHEART WING, 1/20 12K GF, VINTAGE. Pinback, Hallmarked “1/20 12K GF”. S Army Air Service Aviator sweetheart wing is a must-have for any militaria collector. With a charming design and 1/20 12K gold-filled construction, this original piece from the WWI-1930s era is a true gem. The wing has not been modified and comes with a guarantee of authenticity. The country of origin is the United States. The theme of this piece is clear and would make a great addition to any militaria collection. This wing is an original piece and not a reproduction. A perfect piece for collectors of Original Period Items, 1919-38, Militaria, or Sweetheart Collectibles. “1/20 12K GF” is a stamp you’ll see on jewelry to indicate it’s gold-filled. Here’s a breakdown of the meaning. 1/20: This refers to the fraction of the total item weight that is gold. In this case, 1/20th of the item’s weight is gold. So, for example, if a piece of jewelry weighs 10 grams, then 1/20th of that (0.5 grams) would be gold. 12K: This refers to the karat weight of the gold. Karat (abbreviated K) is a unit used to measure the purity of gold. 24K is pure gold, while lower karats indicate that the gold is mixed with other metals. In this case, 12K gold is 50% pure gold (12 parts out of 24). GF: This stands for gold-filled. Gold-filled jewelry is made by pressure bonding a layer of gold to a core of a less expensive metal, such as brass. The gold layer must be at least 5% of the total weight of the item to be considered gold-filled by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the US. So, “1/20 12K GF” means that the jewelry item is gold-filled, with a layer of 12K gold that constitutes 5% of the item’s weight. The concept of “Sweetheart Wings” has a long standing tradition that dates all the way back to World War I. Upon graduating pilot training, servicemen would have a set of their wings turned into a pin or pendant by a local jeweler in order to give to their girlfriend, fiancé, or wife before they went overseas. This custom grew even more popular during World War II, and the handcrafted jewelry became that much more impressive. They would be responsible to send the package to you.

RARE ORIGINAL PRE – WORLD WAR II UNITED STATES ARMY AIR FORCES BALLOON PILOT WINGS, 3-1/4 INCH SIZE, PIN-BACK. The Balloon Pilot Badge is a military badge of the United States Armed Forces which was issued during the First and Second World Wars. The badge was issued by both the United States Army and the U. Air Force, with the Navy equivalent known as the Dirigible Pilot Badge. Originally known as the Aeronaut Badge, the Balloon Pilot Badge was created in 1918 and awarded to pilots of military observation balloons. The badge consisted of a balloon centered on a standard Pilot’s Badge and was issued in two degrees. The senior degree of the Aeronaut Badge was denoted by a star centered above the winged balloon. The Aeronaut Badge was awarded under the authority of the United States Army Air Service and the United States Army Air Corps until the mid-1930s. The badge was then redesignated the Balloon Pilot Badge and, during the Second World War (WWII), was issued by the Army Air Forces. Like its predecessor, the Balloon Pilot Badge was issued in junior and senior degrees. The Army Air Forces also issued a Balloon Observer Badge for those who served as co-pilots and support crew on board military balloon craft. Due to the aircraft technology advances of the 1940s, balloon aeronautics became militarily obsolete by the 1950s. At that time, the United States Air Force discontinued the Balloon Pilot Badge; however, the basic version of the badge is still issued by the U. Air Force Auxiliary’s Civil Air Patrol.
