My favorite JPJ story was his USS Ranger raid ON LAND on a British seaport. How I never learned that in school astonishes me.

Kinda cool that the USS Ranger carrier in WWII hit nazi shipping off the Norwegian coast. USN SBD Dauntless and F4F Wildcats, tangling with Germans. But nice coincidence that is was the modern Ranger.

During the early and mid 1990s I started a casual collecting of text books current to that time and going back to the 50s, early 1900s and the 1800s going back to the 1830s for comparison and I doubt that JPJ gets mentioned today in most states.
