It's a myth that gets recycled every now and then. A crackpot comes on the forum claiming its veracity and then disappears again. You can find reference to it on the forum. That doesn't mean it happened though.

There's several authors who "embellished" their WWII books during the 50's and 60's in order to boost sales.
Sadly, in doing that, it has created perpetuating myths that are hard to stop.

Mr. Caidin did write the paperbacks with the flashy covers that introduced me to Jiro Horikoshi and Saburo Sakai.

The sad part about it, is that events, people and the machines of WWII were incredible enough in all actuality - there was no need whatsoever to embellish or out-right lie about it.

If it wasn't for Mr. Caidin, I wouldn't have known LW pilots referred to the P-39 as "Der BlahendRusselkafer", and other facts.
I need a couple of umlauts but I don't know how.

Something I found interesting, was the love story built up around around the Italian mystery P-38.
The true story about Col. Tondi and his P-38 may not be all that interesting BUT I feel something important and more fascinating was missed because of the mythical story that spun off of the actual P-38 sightings.
At the time that there were genuine sightings of an unknown Italian P-38, including an attack on an American bomber, Savoia-Marchetti was testing their SM.91, which bore a striking resemblance to a P-38.

Yeah, I haven't figured that out on the forum. Easy enough to do in Word. Probly just write the word out on a Word doc and copy/paste it into the text box.

On a phone, if you press and hold the letter "U", for example, a popup should appear with several options - like this: ü

I'm tryin' it. Believe it or not, this bottom tier keyboard don't have no "alt" key. Some interestingly labeled keys don't remember seeing. I've been pressing them and entering the code but no love. I'll ask Siri later.

Typically, the "Alt" key is found to either side of the space bar.
