'Contrail'
[Japan Aviation History Society (JAHS), c24pp, ¥1500 per copy within Japan, incl. postage]
Reaching issue No.193 for Winter (February) 2003, Contrail is aimed at the aviation enthusiast and historian and has both civil and military content, with some emphasis on the US presence in Japan. A long-running series has been providing individual aircraft histories of JASDF F-86F Sabres. Photo reproduction in the main text is a bit iffy, but redeemed by glossier, sharper pictures on and inside the back cover.
