Sample Book Insights:
#1 I met Kaname Harada, who was 93 years old and still active, at his private kindergarten in Nagano prefecture. He was one of the few aviators who experienced the war from the beginning to the end, and he was the only surviving member who flew during the USS Panay incident near Nanking in 1937.
#2 Kaname Harada was born in 1916. He was the eldest of three children. His family farmed in the little town of Asakawamura in currentday Nagano city. He did well in school, was athletic, and tough. As a child, he was nursed on tales of his grandfather's experience as the last generation of the samurai class.
#3 In 1931, Japan owned a large and prosperous venture in the continent of Asia called the South Manchurian Railway. The railway line was received from Imperial Russia as a form of war reparations following the war of 1905. The Japanese had brought in large numbers of employees and their families to work the railroad. The potential for growth was enormous, but the area was often unstable.
#4 In 1933, sixteenyearold Harada joined the Navy to see the world. He was assigned to the destroyer Ushio as a lowly seaman third class, and he heard tales from the older sailors about their experiences fighting in the Chang River area during the 1932 Shanghai Incident.
