Shinkansen: From Bullet Train to Symbol of Modern Japan
Chapter 2: From bullet train to low flying plane

Chapter Two covers the history and development of the shinkansen, from the initial plans during the Pacific War to the plans for a linear shinkansen in the future. This chapter provides a useful foundation for the later chapters and is intended to be largely descriptive rather than analytical.
