J.A.N Uniforms

Hello,

Who can tell me what means: "J.A.N". I found several plates of uniforms of Japanese Army from the 40' recorded under this acronym.



Best regards,

Brancaleone

I can only make the assumption that the abbreviation is the persons own file reference for the image.
The image appears to be a cropped scan from Japanese Army Uniforms and Equipment 1939-45 by Roy Dilley, published by Almark 1970.

I've had another look and it appears that the images are taken from the United States War Department - TM E 30-480 Handbook On Japanese Military Forces 1944-10-01.
There's a few copies knocking about, some better than others.

From the Handbook On Japanese Military Forces 1944.

Hello,


Very fine!

Thanks a lot,

Brancaleone
