  Attack on Yamamoto!April 18, 1943, dawned “…hot and miserable, as it was every day out there,” said Maj. John W. Mitchell, commander of the 339th Fighter Squadron on Guadalcanal. “It was so hot in that cockpit I probably dozed off once or twice….” Mitchell and 15 other P-38 “Lightning” pilots were flying 50 feet above the Pacific over 435 miles to intercept and shoot down Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, leader of the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
Now the TRUE story of that controversial “million-to-one” Army Air Forces mission to destroy Yamamoto in the longest aerial intercept of the war, told in the words and pictures of the men who flew it, will be released on DVD
(57 min.) on the anniversary of that mission April 18, 2008.
