Harvard grad? And he ended up just hanging around. Tsk, Tsk.

Actually, he got a belly full of lead near Bougainville on April 18, 1943.
He didn't have much hang time after the two 'Betty's' and three Zekes were
shot down. Maybe a minute or two, if he wasn't already dismembered by the
.50 cal armaments or the 20 mm cannon, deployed on the P-38's of the jungle
Air Force.

I was confusing him with Tojo.
