Two years after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the United States Navy intercepted and decoded a message that Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto would be flying to Bougainville Island in the South Pacific near Papua New Guinea to inspect Japanese troops. On April 18, 1943 the United States sent several P-38's from Gaudalcanal to intercept the bomber and to kill Yamamoto.

Had Isoroku Yamamato been in the U.S. Navy, Yamamoto would have been immediately relieved of command and court-martialed. Instead, he was glorified by the military dictatorship, until the admiral was killed in an ambush by 18 P-38 fighters almost one year later.
