A rare person who turned from a fighter pilot to an aerial photographer. He retired after flying a combat mission with an F-15 fighter jet at the Air Self-Defense Force Hyakuri Air Base. He began taking pictures of ASDF aircraft, using his professional-level photography skills since high school. He quickly rose to prominence as a unique photographer who understands the thoughts of those who fly, and is now renowned as one of Japan's best aerial photographers. In 2022, I will celebrate my 30th anniversary as a photographer, and during that time I will be photographing F-15J, F-2, F-4EJ, F-1, as well as transport aircraft such as C-1, C-2, C-130, and UH- In addition to rescue helicopters such as the 60J, we cover 27 types of aircraft, from active aircraft to retired aircraft, including Blue Impulse, aerial refueling aircraft, AWACS, and government aircraft. This book is Mr. Akatsuka's first solo luxury photo book, carefully selected from Mr. Akatsuka's vast library over the years, and delivered using the highest quality paper and printing technology.
