I can't tell you that as that is between Australaia and Siam.

There are no rules so all is free - wich is a good thing if handled carefully. Find a good story that explains why Siam can do all these things (Army, Airforce, Navy need funding, visionary commanders willing to force the developement of new tools and technologies and answers to questions like where all the experienced and trained workers come from, the machinery and tools for production, the money, the political will, the experienced flight crews, the oxygen or even helium etc.) and everybody´s please.

The Meiji Restoration (»­°, Meiji ishin?), also known as the Meiji Ishin, Revolution, or Renewal, was a chain of events that led to enormous changes in Japan's political and social structure. It occurred in the latter half of the 19th century, a period that spans both the late Edo period (often called Late Tokugawa shogunate) and the beginning of the Meiji Era. Probably the most important foreign account of the events between 1862-1869 is contained in A Diplomat in Japan by Sir Ernest Satow. The restoration was a direct response to the opening of Japan by the arrival of the Black Ships of Commodore Matthew Perry and made Imperial Japan a great power.

What's the population of Siam in 1936? Today it's one of the top 30 economies and in the top 20 population wise, but what about back then?
