Ernie, I don't have a problem with that approach. It tends to stick with what we have all been taught over the years without making waves that don't really need to be made. I personally have no issue with calling out someone that was trying to twist things to benefit that person, in this case, Fuchida .
Sparky, the issue with Fuchida is he was, as stated by Parshall, a man with an agenda. Aiding him was the fact that he was at Pearl Harbor and Midway, though he wasn't in the "Inner Circle" of Nagumo's staff. He was just the air group commander of the fleet flagship and on the outside looking in. His story was, unfortunately, quickly grabbed by western scholars and taken as fact, without doing any checking of the other sources of information that were then available as well as other sources of written documentation that still are available that were used by Parshall. His story was then included into just about every book written about Midway, including the books "Miracle at Midway" and "Incredible Victory". Both told the story from the US perspective but still used Fuchida's doctored version as part of the story about how the Japanese ships were sunk. What wasn't said in either Fuchida's or the other two books is that the US aviators DID NOT sink any of the Japanese carriers destroyed at Midway. They left them burned out hulks that were later sunk by torpedoes fired by their escorting destroyers.
