The offered copy of Attack on Yamamoto is signed by author Carroll Glines and WWII fighter pilots John Mitchell and Rex Barber, as well as George Chandler and Eugene Monihan. Mitchell and Barber were the main pilots for Operation Vengeance, which was the American military operation to kill Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto of the Imperial Japanese Navy on 18 April 1943 during the Solomon Islands campaign in the Pacific Theater of World War II. Mitchell was a fighter ace, and Barber is considered the one who shot down Yamamoto's plane. Barber was eventually officially credited for the kill by the Second Yamamoto Mission Association's efforts and research, led by Chandler and Monihan. Accompanied by AI-Verified COA.
