Great read..thanks...what's curious is what the author might have added at the end..that American pilots successfully intercepted and killed Yamamoto later on in the war, a measure that probably did much to contribute to Japan's loss, and probably helped save thousands of Americans......Sadam..are you listening?

Yamamoto was killed April 18, 1943.

So was Ernie Pyle at Ie Shima in 1945.
His books on the war are fantastic.
Geraldo can only wish to report like that.

It's also my birthday!!
