Re: Thomas Lanphier's brother: another urban legend?
Hi, for the true facts on this famous mission you should read :-
"Attack on Yamamoto" by Carroll Glynes and "Lighting Strikes" by Donald Davies. Lanphier seems to have been a bit of a glory hunter and pretty certainly did not shoot down Yamamoto For many of us older guys the first account we read was in "Flames in the Sky" by Clostermann - exciting,well written but old Clo Clo was never one to let the facts spoil a good story. Cheers Bruce Lander
