Chris, these stories are enough to make a man cry. If you got this
information out of a book, please post the title.

I'm looking for a good book!

On the other hand,
if you didn't, then please write the book and post the title!

You would seem to be in a great position to write a book using Japanese
sources. Surely the war must be a big subject to the Japanese, but what can be
found in English from a japanese point of view is very limited. Much of what
there is appears to be related to fighter planes and pilots. I'd love to read a
book, based directly on Japanese sources, about Japanese bomber development,
tactics and operations.

I've been fussing around with a history of USAAF air operations in the Med for
a number of years. I suppose it is about time I wrapped it up. (But then I'll
lose my excuse for business deductions of trips to the Greek Isles and Capri!)
