Yep... must get more coffee in the morning. Jim Smith is the author. (Sorry about that!)

My father was part of that mission. My dad ended up having to land at Iwo Jima after he lost an engine over Japan. The day he arrived back at Guam the war was over.

That's really something! Is he in the book? I saw a documentary about the end of the war called "Japan's Longest Day" that I think may have had that mission in it. I wonder if he's in there?

I had a friend who's late father-in-law was one of the team that loaded the bomb on the Enola Gay. He found him in some documentary footage!

Thanks for the heads up - I just reserved it.
