ONI 208-J, supplement no. 2: Far-Eastern small craft.
No full textIn the latter part of 1943 and during 1944, a quantity of new and unknown Japanese merchant ships have been observed, many of them radically different in design from the modern vessels of the pre-war era. Sufficient numbers of the same type of ship have been noted to permit the formation of definite conclusions as to the amount and character of standardization accomplished in Japanese wartime merchant ship construction. In addition, recent captured documents have listed the types adopted as standard and outlined sufficient characteristics to make possible the identification of individual classes. Contents: minor combatant warship types, merchant ships under 1,000 gross tons (passenger, cargo, barges, fishing, utility vessels), and native craft, by geographic areas

Port Arthur. OP-16-FE 60-45, June 1945.
No full textPort Arthur, although of little significance as a commercial port, is of considerable military and naval importance. Situated on the southwest tip of the Liao-tung Pan-tao (Liaotung Peninsula), it commands the entrance to the Pohai Strait, and hence controls the water approaches to Manchuria and Worth China. Thus the naval base, although small, is of unusual importance because of its strategic location. As center of the Japanese administration of the Kwantung-Leased Territory, Port Arthur, with a 1940 population of 33,254, is the headquarters of the military forces assigned to that area, and normally is garrisoned by some 2,400 troops. To protect the town and port there are numerous coastal batteries emplaced on the heights commanding the harbor approaches. Outline of study: importance, physical features, the port, utilities and supplies, shipbuilding and repair facilities, industry, communications, defenses, and climatic data for Port Arthur

Study of operations of G-2 (Air) in the 12th Army Group for the period from 10 July 1944 to 9 May 1945.
No full textPart I is a review of the G-2 (Air) Branch, 12th Army Group, its subsections and the facilities with which it accomplished its missions. It is a general study of the concerns of an Army Group G-2 (Air) and believed applicable for the most part to any analogous situation. b. Part II is a study of photography and the role it has played in combat operations. An attempt has been made to illustrate the wide usage which has been made of photography and photo reconnaissance by both Air and Ground Forces in this Theater. c. Part III, called Comments and Recommendations, is probably the major section of the report. It reflects the experiences, ideas and beliefs of officers who have been concerned with G-2 (Air) functions and reconnaissance operations for the Ground Forces throughout the European campaign. The report itself merely serves as a vehicle for the opinions of officers, some of whom have framed their comments and recommendations against a comparative background of experience in Africa, Sicily and Italy prior to their experience as key reconnaissance personnel in the European Theater of Operations. Part IV is composed of two annexes. The one is a study of photo interpretation as it has been conducted at all echelons throughout the Army Group. The other is a detailed study of the requirements to transfer the facilities for photographic reproduction from the Air Forces to the Ground Forces, which is recommended by both ground and Air Force officers in Part III
