I marked the 80th anniversary tonight by watching "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" which has great flying sequences and a Dalton Trumbo script. It's a rare wartime movie that actually understates the awful Japanese reprisals to the Chinese who helped the Yank fliers escape. Told my daughter, who enjoyed the picture, and remembered Leon Ames from "Meet Me in St. Louis", that the character he played helped to save the Franklin (and won the Navy Cross) while the movie still playing in theaters in 1945.
Got a copy of "Apollo Murders" and will read it soon, thank you very much.
