Re: Some mission confirmations for 'Samurai'
Gizmo:
Ah...thank you for the info; I guess the Extra fuel tanks on the B17s accounted for the spectacular explosions that Sakai noted; by the way, since I don't recall, how many did the IJN pilots actually claim? Been a LONG time since I read the book....AND the B25 raid was pretty much annihilated; just like in the book. I DID notice in the book (working from memory mind you!)that this was the first & ONLY time B25s were used instead of B26 Marauders against Lae in 1942; were these losses the incentive NOT to commit The Mitchells to this front or was it just an issue of 'suppling the type'?
