Get Yamamoto
Burke Davis
I read this book for the first time in late fall or early winter of 1970. I thought I might want to read it again to see if it was as good as I remembered. It is ! The book arrived today and I am half way through it already. This is a well written story about a little known episode of WW II aviation history. I highly recommend this book.
To boost morale following the defeat at Guadalcanal, Yamamoto decided to make an inspection tour throughout the South Pacific. It was during this tour that U.S. officials commenced an operation to kill him. On April 14, 1943, the United States naval intelligence effort, codenamed "Magic", intercepted and decrypted a message containing specifics of Yamamoto's tour, including arrival and departure times and locations, as well as the number and types of aircraft that would transport and accompany him on the journey. Yamamoto, the itinerary revealed, would be flying from Rabaul to Balalae Airfield, on an island near Bougainville in the Solomon Islands, on the morning of April 18, 1943.
