Re: John Leppla
Hi Michael
After analyzing the reports of US and Japanese fights,here are the facts.
Liska:
In fact,its claim (unfounded) as a gunner of Lt.Martin D.Carmody ( 2 Zeke also claimed in the same fight:no Japanese losses IN THIS FIGHT,and only IN this fight) was against 7 Zeke:
Lt.SATO Masao (Zuiho)
PM.MORIYAMA Gonji (Zuiho)
SM.TOCHI Hajime (Zuiho)
EV. ABE Yasujiro (Shokaku)
MT.OHARA Koji (Shokaku)
QM.ITO Tomitaro (Shokaku)
SM.YANO Shigeru (Shokaku)
Whom they claimed equally unfounded 2 probables SBD Collectively by(TOCHI,ABE,OHARA,YANO).
IN the same way,the victory of Leppla is particularly doubtful .
During his last fight with his "winger" (Albert Mead),it was against 2 Zeke of the Zuiho (LV.HIDAKA Saneyasu,PM.MITSUMOTO Jiro) who suffered no losses and who shot down them:Leppla and Mead.
