First Down on Yamato!: Hornet's VF-17 Jolly Rogers First to Strike--April 7, 1945

4/5 ( ratings)

First published account on the final attack of the Japanese Imperial Navy Battleship Yamato. Unfortunately countless stories of desperate and individual heroics by our aging veterans are being lost and will never be heard. I am pleased to at least share one. Never before has this story been told. Yamato was the pride and joy of the Imperial Japanese Navy. She was the biggest battleship in the world and was sent on a "suicide" mission to Okinawa after US forces landed there on April 1, 1945. This is a historically accurate account of the sinking of the Yamato and strike by US Naval forces April 7, 1945 derived from first hand accounts by personal conversation with the men who participated in the attack as well as the combat action report from VF-17 records. Included is a copy of the original VF-17 Combat Action Report describing the attack, the ship positions, pilots participating and a signed copy of the main character (Lt. Good) April 1945 logbook.
