Japan To-do:

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)
