This is the Japanese language edition of the great propaganda magazine Front, which appeared in some 15 different languages, and is clearly modeled on USSR in Construction. This version combines the first and second number, dedicated to the Imperial Navy and its "defense of Asia". Among the stunning photograph are ones showing the attacks on European holdings in Southeast Asia and the attack on Pearl Harbor. Under the direction of Kimura Ihei, Front used the talents of some of the most important of Japan's photographers. The layout was designed under the direction of Hara Hiromu. Some wear to wrappers. All issues are extremely rare.
