Japanese Generals & Admirals portraits

#1

Post by 79seconds » 17 Nov 2018, 09:01

It's very difficult to find the portraits of Japanese Generals & Admirals of WWII on the net.
If any masters in AHF can advise any useful websites or books?

Thanks in advance. :D

Regards
Jon

Wikipedia has numerous pics of Japanese officers. Are there any IJN officers in particular you're looking for? I have quite a few pics in my files.

Hi,

I too have a fairly good database of Generals, if you are looking for anyone in particular, please post your list.

Best regards,

VJK

Thanks ijnfleetadmiral & VJK for your prompt replies.

Actually I have picked up a very long list of names of generals & admirals (3341 names) those who fully or partly attended the WWII, but 80% of them are lack of pictures/portraits.

Can I paste my list by initials in seperate threads under this topic? Hope that won't bother too much.

Thanks guys!

Just noticed that there was already a post regarding Japanese Generals photos posted by Matteus in this board. Will check that post and see if any photos still missing and let you know. :)

Hi ijnfleetadmiral,

Checked with my databse find that except for Admirals, I have only 5%-6% of Vice Admirals & Rear Admirals with pictures and others' are missing.

Maybe you can start another thread posting the pictures you have just like that ones of IJA. :thumbsup:

According to IJN admirals in 2010 a guidebook was published, although only in Japanese, but it contains biographies of all the admirals of the imperial navy. https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E6%97%A5%E6%9 ... 4569775519
This book is a profile of naval officers born at the time.
A total of 1,665 admirals were named as admirals. A total of 77 admirals, 492 vice admirals, and 1,096 rear admirals.
Best regards
