I'd like to know more about the Caidin-Sakai wrangle!


Dan, I know Sakai autographed copies of the book later in life, but in the
years shortly after it was released in America, Saburo Sakai *hated* it and
would always make comments about "the things other people had inserted" into
it. With both men gone, its all moot now, but I would imagine the inaccuracies
came from other people, not Sakai - he was all about honor and duty and would
not have padded his own remarkable story. There was simply no need for him to
do so.

Its always better to lose AN engine, than THE engine.
