	Isoroku Yamamoto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Under Yamamoto's able subordinates, Vice Admirals Ozawa, Kondo and Takahashi, the Japanese swept the inadequate remaining American, British, Dutch and Australian naval assets from the Netherlands East Indies in a series of amphibious landings and surface naval battles that culminated in the Battle of the Java Sea on 27 February 1942.
		Yamamoto's plan was to draw American attention—and possibly carrier forces—north from Pearl Harbor by sending his Fifth Fleet (2 light carriers, 5 cruisers, 13 destroyers and 4 transports) against the Aleutians, raiding Dutch Harbor on Unalaska Island and invading the more distant islands of Kiska and Attu.
		Yamamoto, the itinerary revealed, would be flying from Rabaul to Ballalae Airfield, on an island near Bougainville in the Solomon Islands, on the morning of 18 April.

		Yamamoto was stuck southeast of Guam aboard his flagship, the battleship Yamato.
		Yamamoto was due back in Truk, but he planned to make one more trip to the front to emphasize to his pilots the absolute necessity of holding air superiority.

	People-Japan--Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto (1884-1943)
		Yamamoto attended the Naval War College during the "teens" and later studied at Harvard University.

		Yamamoto had always favored a campaign to the east, and he hoped by such a movement to bring out the remainder of the United States Pacific Fleet to battle.
		Yamamoto believed that 2 United States carriers instead of 1 had been lost in the Battle of the Coral Sea on May 8, and he assumed that the 2 others were still in the South Pacific.
		Yamamoto was still confident because he believed that the disabled American carrier was the only one present.

		Isoroku Yamamoto holds a special place in some Japanese people's hearts because he opposed the war and warned that Japan could never prevail over the might of the United States.
		The Yamamoto museum also skirts more public issues, centering on Yamamoto's personal artifacts, including a letter to his wife-to-be, Reiko, in which he asks her to marry him while warning that as a military man he would surely neglect her.
		Yamamoto, who studied at Harvard University and later worked in Washington, D.C., was shot down by U.S. fighter planes while inspecting the front lines over the Pacific.

		In the months preceding the attack Adm. Stark assured Kimmel that he need not worry about being attacked by torpedo bombers because the water at Pearl Harbor was too shallow to permit their use.
		It was known to Adm. Yamamoto that the battleship was an antiquated, slow, gun platform that had been superceded as a capital ship by the aircraft carrier.

Akiyama's flagship, the Niizuki, was sunk and Nagatsuki driven ashore, where she was destroyed by US planes during the day; but the destroyer-transports succeeded in unloading their troops on Kolombangara, and USS Helena, was sunk by three torpedoes fired by the Suzukaze and Tanikaze.
		Leander was badly damaged by a torpedo in the opening moments of the action, then the failure to promptly identify the destroyers of the Japanese escort force allowed them to reach a position to launch torpedoes that blew up the destroyer USS Gwin (DD 433) and damaged the cruisers USS Honolulu and USS St. Louis.

	WWII Pilot Rex T. Barber Dies at 84 [Free Republic]
		Barber was one of 16 pilots in specially equipped long-range P-38 Lightnings who were dispatched 400 miles on April 18, 1943, to intercept Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto, commander in chief of the Japanese Imperial Navy, over the Solomon Islands in the Pacific.
		When Yamamoto began his tour of Solomon Island defences on 13 April 1943 his flying schedule was radioed, the communications office claiming 'The code only went into effect on 1 April and cannot be broken.' In fact the Americans had done so by dawn the next morning.
		It would be nice if we could learn more about Barber, and discover that he spent his life somewhat awed by the fact that he was where he was at the time such an important event in the history of this nation took place.

		It was later confirmed that Admiral Yamamoto had indeed been in one of the bombers and had died that day.
		The American fighter pilots who participated in the Yamamoto mission were understandably elated, especially the three survivors of the four-man killer flight.

		Typical of Miller's assessments is his endorsement of criticism leveled at Vice Adm Frank Jack Fletcher's "ill-founded decision" (page 268) to withdraw his carriers from the waters off Guadalcanal three days after marines went ashore in August 1942, followed by a summary of John Lundstrom's defense of Fletcher in an extended footnote.
		Miller has kind words for the Canadian navy and for Adm Ernest J. King in the Battle of the Atlantic but argues that it was US industrial capacity more than anything else that determined the outcome of that long, bitter campaign.
		He endorses Vice Adm Raymond Spruance's decisions not to seek the main Japanese fleet at Midway and the Philippine Sea; indeed, he describes Spruance as taking "an immense risk" (page 252) at Midway when he launched all his planes in pursuit of the Japanese while retaining none to defend his ships.
