Just a small point, but Yamamoto was shot down on 18th April 1943, and our friend Lindbergh did not arrive in the combat area until July 1944, being attached to the 475th FG as a civilian technician and advisor. So no way did the conqueror of the Atlantic give advice to the 339th Squadron at Guadalcanal in time to have any impact on the fortunes of the Imperial Navy's commander. Many years ago (when I was still at high school) I read much of the Wartime Journals of Lindbergh, and a jolly good read it was too. Think I even read about his experiences with the 475th as well, but cannot recall much - that must have been in about 1968!
