      12/7: Talk about an inspiration for an element in your current WIP.
      Well, the new WIP—or I might say potential WIP—is just a few scenes at the moment. What I can say is it’s drawing on elements from both my life (where it’s relevant that I’ve been an agnostic/atheist since I was 16) and my Dad’s—who was a Vicar when I was young, did various other jobs, but in retirement became heavily involved as a ‘backup’ priest in a rural parish.

            Book Review: The Last Zero Fighter by Dan King

            Advertisements

            Topic & Content

            Published in 2012, The Last Zero Fighter is a collection of firsthand accounts of Japanese aviators during World War II. Each account chronicles the subject’s upbringing, reasons for joining the Imperial Japanese Navy, training to be an aviator, and experiences during the Pacific War. Each chapter focuses on a different aviator and is organized as follows:

            • Japanese Naval Aviation 101 (Paths to becoming an aviator in the IJN, air crew roles, and air group organization.)
            • Ch. 1 Kaname Harada (Soren graduate, Zero pilot)
            • Ch. 2 Isamu Miyazaki (Yokaren graduate, Zero pilot)
            • Ch. 3 Haruo Yoshino (Yokaren graduate, Kate observer/navigator)
            • Ch. 4 Toshimitsu Imaizumi (Soren graduate, Zero pilot, assigned to Kamikaze unit)
            • Ch. 5 Tomokazu Kasai (Yokaren graduate, Zero & Shinden pilot, assigned to Kamikaze unit)
            • Epilogue

            One interesting thing the book and interviews highlight is the differences in training programs Japan used for its aviators. Unlike Western nations, which preferred officers (four-year university graduates) for their pilot training programs, the majority of Japanese aviators were originally civilian teenagers who graduated from the Kaigun Yoka Renshusei (Yokaren for short) program. This program recruited civilian males, aged 15 to 20, directly into the Navy as enlisted men for a couple of years of training and schooling, and then sent them directly into flight training. Some of them would eventually be promoted up to the officer ranks. The rationale was that teenagers possessed better hand-eye coordination for flight training. Another program known as the Kaigun Hiko Soju Renshusei (Soren for short) drew from the Navy’s enlisted personnel who passed the exam and prerequisites to attend flight school. Of course, Imperial Japanese Naval Academy and university graduates who became officers could also attend flight training and become pilots or aviators.

            Thesis

            The author states that his intention with this book is to share the thoughts and motivations of the Japanese pilot with the English speaker.

            Author’s Background

            Dan King visited Japan several times during his high school years in the 1980s and then earned a Bachelor’s degree in Japanese at California State University, Los Angeles. He then moved to Aichi Prefecture and worked for Toyota Motor Corporation from 1986 to 1996. During this time, he passed the highest level of Japanese language proficiency test administered by the Japanese Ministry of Education. It was also during this time that he began interviewing Japanese WWII veterans about their experiences. At the time of the book’s publication, he had met over 250 Japanese Army and Navy WWII veterans and interviewed 97 of them about their experiences.

            Dan King’s other books in his series on Japanese veterans include A Tomb Called Iwo Jima: Firsthand Accounts from Japanese Survivors, Blossoms from the Sky: Firsthand Accounts from Kamikaze Pilots Who Volunteered to Fly the Ohka Baka Bomb, and The Iron Graves of Saipan: Firsthand Accounts of the Japanese 9th Tank Regiment from Manchuria to the Mariana Islands.

            In addition to his interviews, King has also worked as a historical and technical consultant on various films and documentaries about Japan or the Pacific War, such as John Woo’s Windtalkers (2002), Edward Zwick’s The Last Samurai (2003), Clint Eastwood’s Flags of Our Fathers (2006), and the HBO miniseries The Pacific (2010).

            Critical Observations

            Positives

            The book is organized fairly well. Each chapter covers the subjects’ experiences chronologically through the war. Since all of these men survived the war, each chapter concludes with their final thoughts on the war, looking back on it some 70 years later. Given their advanced age, these men look back on the war with sorrow and wisdom, noting the cruelty of war.

            Additionally, the subjects are arranged chronologically, with the early chapters detailing the prewar period (including experiences in the Second Sino-Japanese War in China), and the later chapters showing men recruited in the middle of the Pacific War who underwent far less rigorous training. For example, Tomokazu Kasai received no dogfighting or aerial gunnery training before being sent to an active unit following advanced flight training. He literally had to learn on the job. What becomes apparent is that all of these men were lucky to survive the war.

            Negatives

            The title of the book is something of a misnomer. It would seem to imply that this is a biography of the last Zero fighter pilot and his aircraft or the last dogfight in the Pacific War, but it’s not; it’s a metaphorical title. On the other hand, not many of these men are still alive, so the interviews that King conducted could literally be from the last Zero fighter pilots.

            While each chapter is substantial, there are only five interviews in the book. Given that it’s been over 80 years since the end of WWII, the number of living veterans is dwindling every day. In fact, at the time of the book’s publication in 2012, only Kaname Harada and Tomokazu Kasai were still alive. Harada passed away in 2016, and Kasai passed away in 2021. With this in mind, the subject matter is a victim of time, and the paucity of veterans for King to interview is understandable. Eventually, we will all pass into nothingness, so it’s left to historians to document these experiences before that happens.

            As with any book dealing with personal accounts, this one has the same limitations as any oral history. It suffers from offering the reader a very narrow perspective of the events and is limited by the inherent biases in personal recollections, given the chosen interviewees. That is to say, the five subjects the author interviewed may or may not be representative of the average experience of a Japanese aviator.

            The majority of these men were Yokaren graduates and fighter pilots. Haruo Yoshino was the only person who wasn’t a fighter pilot, and thus seems like the odd man out. Additionally, none of these men commanded any units. While some of them rose through the ranks to become officers, the majority of their experience was as enlisted men. Essentially, all of the narratives are from the enlisted man’s perspective. Consequently, the view they have of the war is very narrow and solely “from the cockpit,” so to speak.

            Evaluation (Does the content support the thesis?)

            Overall, the book does exactly what the thesis claims. It documents the lives and war experiences of the five men who were interviewed. The book is well organized and moves chronologically through their experiences and the war. Thankfully, it’s not trying to be some epic narrative of the war, but presents the reader with the personal recollections of these aviators.

                              Finished reading The Dark Half for the first time (but having had seen the film adaptation). It was pretty good. A goofy premise that's never fully explained, and like MANY King books it is kind of anticlimatic and limps across the finish line, but I generally enjoyed the experience.

                                                Genre: Science Fiction/Science Fantasy

                                                I was never a fan of Robert Silverberg's writing. I didn't •hate• him; it's just that most his writing didn't particularly work for me, particularly his novels.

                                                So I don't actually remember why I gave "Lord Valentine's Castle" a try. But I'm very glad I did. It's an outstanding work of science fantasy.

                                                Valentine wakes up one day on a hillside with very little memory of who he is and where he comes from. The planet he's on is remarkable; enormous, with a corresponding lack of heavy elements that results in Earthlike gravity. The world is VERY rich, filled with a large number of alien species and with a vast, ancient history.

                                                Here Silverberg's talent and experience really come into focus: this world is no pale copy of Earth with a few quirks throw in for "alien" color. Majipoor is a deep, rich world that really FEELS alien. Plants, animals, even the cultures Valentine encounters come to life in a really enthralling way.

                                                Not that the plot is neglected! Valentine makes friends and discovers that he's somehow entangled in a worldwide plot that ties into the government of Majipoor itself–a government that's like nothing ever seen in Earth's history, involving unimaginable technology and customs. After all, how many heads of government work through dreams?

                                                [The road to Pidruid led along the high ridge for more than a mile, then began sudden sharp switchbacks down into the coastal plain. Valentine let the boy do most of the talking as they made the descent. Shanamir came, he said, from a district two and a half days’ journey inland, to the northeast; there he and his brothers and his father raised mounts for sale at Pidruid market, and turned a good living at it; he was thirteen years old, and had a high opinion of himself; he had never been outside the province of which Pidruid was the capital, but someday he meant to go abroad, to travel everywhere on Majipoor, to make the pilgrimage to the Isle of Sleep and kneel before the Lady, to cross the Inner Sea to Alhanroel and achieve the ascent of Castle Mount, even to go down south, maybe, beyond the steaming tropics, into the burnt and barren domain of the King of Dreams, for what was the use of being alive and healthy on a world as full of wonders as Majipoor if you did not journey hither and thither about on it?]

                                                This is the first book of a series, which is what I hoped for when I first read it. Much of the series is excellent. It just goes to show that even an old SF writer can learn new tricks.

                                                The book is available physically, as well as in ebook and audiobook formats. Unfortunately it ISN'T available to borrow from the Internet Archive unless you have disabilities. But there's a good chance that you can borrow it from your local library. It's well worth the effort.

                                                Happy reading! 🤓📖

                                                            All Audrey series volumes except WIP book 4 have 2 MCs.

                                                            WIP book 3 has a few SCs who get chapters, and one important SC with scattered appearances.

                                                            Plus a chapter for a scene with several SCs, who have names and personalities, but who we never see again.

                                                            WIP book 4 upgrades an SC from book 3 to guest MC, with many more pages than Audrey.

                                                            But Audrey's contract gives her top billing.

I did not do this consciously; rather, the current state of me kind of demanded it. Anyway, I’m currently reading two very excellent books. One is called , and I’m sorry but I can’t recall the name of the author off the top of my head. Feel free to remind me. It’s a novel about a very modern tradwife influencer who many of us usually roll our proverbial eyes at. Somehow she is sent back to the year 1855, I’m not deep enough in the book to know how or why this happened, but she’s inhabiting the same physical property, and her family is also the same but not the same, if that makes any sense. I’d recommend it in any event. Another book I’m reading is Whistler by Anne Patchett. It’s about a woman in her mid-fifties who reconnects with the stepfather who was only in her life for a few years when she wasn’t even ten years old. I basically just started this, and it looks interesting. And, finally, I have read The Borrowed Life Of Frederick Fife by Anna Johnston. I don’t usually use the word amazing for books, but this one truly was. I’m not going to give away much, except to say the book deals with subjects such as mistaken identity, eldercare, broken and dysfunctional families, and, most importantly, redemption. Happy reading.

                                                                    Do you like puffins?

                                                                    Because I really like puffins and I don’t know why (never seen them IRL) so I was wondering, and I realised that it’s very likely because of Puffin Books and their logo that was ubiquitous when I was growing up.

                                                                    Just a thought 😅
