DescriptionThis is an original Imperial Japanese Army worker’s handbook belonging to Yukio Nakagomi, who worked at an Army aviation-related facility in wartime Japan.The cover is titled “Worker’s Handbook”, and the owner’s name is recorded as Yukio Nakagomi. His registered home address is listed in Nakakoma District, Yamanashi Prefecture.Inside are handwritten records relating to his employment history, wages, regular pay increases, military civilian service orders, and official seals.This is therefore more than a simple identification booklet. It is a personal employment record showing how one individual was hired, paid, and managed within the Japanese Army’s aviation organization.The handbook is associated with the Gifu Army Flying School, established in 1940 as part of the Imperial Japanese Army’s aviation training system.What makes this document especially interesting is that it represents the war from the perspective of a worker rather than a pilot or officer.Military aviation depended not only on aircrew, but also on large numbers of workers involved in maintenance, repair, supply, factory work, and technical support. This small handbook preserves the career record of one of those people working behind the scenes.It is a very personal piece of wartime history, documenting the labor system that supported Japanese military aviation.The handbook shows age-related staining, wear, handwritten entries, and other signs of use. Please examine the photographs carefully for condition.An interesting original item for collectors and researchers of Imperial Japanese Army aviation, military labor, wartime industry, civilian military employees, and named Japanese military documents.Own a Piece of History.Shipping
