A better book is “Shattered Sword” by John Parchall, and Anthony Tully. They make a solid case that Fuchida may have played fast and loose with the truth. In a later account he told of how hw snuck aboard the USS Missouri to watch the Surrender Ceremony. Not bloody likely.

I'm aware of the book but haven't read it yet. Generally because of giving Fuchida the benefit of the doubt of recounting events as he understood them, even if his understanding was incorrect.
