Thanks again.

I am reading his book "Samurai" and I can't believe how difficult it is reading about him slaughtering allied forces.

I need to even this out and pick up books by Bong and Foss smile

Read that a few years ago and it is a cracking read for those that haven't seen it, especially as in the UK you rarely see anything to give perspective on the enemy side as it were.
I still find it incredible how he flew back 500 odd miles to his base after being hit and blinded by .50 cals.
