Having said that, I still think his book is one of the best out there, errors and all.
Just consider it a novel if you want, the book does what it's suppose to do, and I think it does it well.
SHOOT ! That ain't nothin' !! I seem to remember a part of Thunder Below where Eugene Fluckey claimed he invaded and took over one of the islands off the Japanese mainland, planting a flag, and claiming it for the United States! That was just BEFORE he invented the atomic bomb and single-handedly punched the entire country of Japan right square in the kisser! "To the moon, Tojo!" he roared...

(oh jeez. I GOTS to get those prescriptions refilled!)
