Re: Robert Johnson vs Egon Mayer-Urban myth?
Just how much of the book Thunderbolt is in the words of Johnson and how much is in Caidin's is not known. The dedication is written by Robert S. Johnson so I assume he read the contents and was in agreement with the manuscript. The forward is written by Caidin and one can easily determine that it is in his usual exaggerated style. This would be one of Caidin's better books, the others being The Ragged, Rugged Warriors which covers the air war over China and the early Pacific which was published in 1966, when little information could be obtained on this subject, and Zero. The others I read on the B-17 and P-38 and the Schweinfurt raid are pretty worthless.
