Summary Part of Pacific Week on WW2TV Dead Reckoning is the latest book by today's guest Dick Lehr, and is the epic story of the high-stakes operation undertaken to kill Admiral Yamamoto, the man behind the attack on Pearl Harbor. At Station Hypo on Hawaii U.S. Navy code breakers discovered exactly where and when to find Admiral Yamamoto and on April 18, 1943 a nerve-wracking mission departed to kill him. Dick will talk about Major John W. Mitchell, the ace fighter pilot from the tiny hamlet of Enid, Mississippi who was tasked with conceiving a flight route, literally to the second, for the only U.S. fighter plane on Guadalcanal capable of reaching Yamamoto hundreds of miles away - the new twin-engine P-38 Lightning with its fabled "cone of fire."
