Flying their P-38's at sea level with only the aid of their
airspeed indicator, wrist watch and borrowed navy compass, Col.
John Mitchell and his men of the 339th Fighter Squadron return
victorious after shooting down the head of the Japanese Combined
Fleet, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto.
Much controversy still surrounds this famous mission to this
day, regarding who actually made the kill on that 18th day of
April, 1943.
Signed by: Col. John Mitchell, Rex Barber, George Chandler, and
Bill Harris. |
