I wanted to share with the community an IJA ID booklet I recently added to my collection. Once belonging to a member of the IJAAF in the 11th Flying/Training Unit under the Gifu Air Division, this booklet has the soldier qualified in airplane guages/instruments. Qualification entries in these booklets can be quite varied, and air unit examples seem to have particularly interesting ones. I have another air unit example with a photography qualification. Infantry based qualifications include radio operators, dog handlers, buglers, wagoneers, the list goes on. Feel free to post examples of qualification entries from your collection. I would be interested in seeing other examples. Thanks for looking.
