51st Anniversary of The Doolittle Raid

51 years ago, April 18, 1942, a young man filled with rage named Jake DeShazer, sat in the nose of a B-25 bomber and dropped incendiaries on a refindery in Nagoya, Japan as part of The Doolittle Raid - a revenge mission for the Pearl Harbor attack. In "Wounded Tiger" I explain how this raid killed the fiance of a young lady who would later seek to meet Jake DeShazer for one reason - to kill him as well ... The book will be available for presale in June, 2013.

The US Naval War College Just Posted my Article on Fuchida

Two years ago an article was published in the US Naval War College Review which accused Mitsuo Fuchida of egregious lies. I knew there was no truth in the article and eventually realized that if I didn't respond to this article with facts, no one would. So I wrote a response article and submitted it to the NWCR and they accepted it and published it here, entitled, "Parshall's 'Whoppers' Examined: Fact-Checking the Various Claims and Conlusions of Jonathan Parshall."

70th Anniversary of the Doolittle Raid

April 18, 1942 - 70 years ago today, 16 planes took off on a mission over Japan - the Doolittle Raid. No one knew what would really happen. Jake DeShazer was one of those participating in the raid and his life ultimately had a huge impact on the Japanese pilot who led the attack on Pearl Harbor - Mitsuo Fuchida.

Jake went back to Japan with his wife and young child and at the bottom you'll see a photo of him with his former guard.

If the stories of Jake DeShazer, Mitsuo Fuchida, and the Covell families were fiction, it wouldn't be so great because it would be too far-fetched to believe. But it's a true story, and an amazing one that needs to be told. This is much of what Wounded Tiger is about. The book will be available later this year.
