WASHINGTON. Sept. II QNSl
The war department announced
today that Col. Thomas c.hLafss
phier Jr. of Washington, d. c..
son of the former commander Of
Selfridge Field, shot down the
plane carrying Adm. Yamamoto,
commander in chief of the imperial
Japanese navy.
Yamamoto, famed for his boast
that he would dictate peace terms
in the White House, was sent to
his death by the 29-year-old Yank
flier far behind Jap lines in the
Solomons.
He went down at the exact spot
where naval intelligence had es-
timated his plane would be in ac-
cordance with a secretly obtained
schedule of the admirars flight
plans.
WHY IT WAS WITHHELD
1t was the admirars known de-
termination to be punctual at all
times that led to the formulation
of plans for the successful inter-
ception of his flying inspection
party, the army said.
Reason for delay in announcing
details of Yamamoto's death also
was made known by the army
today. 1t was disclosed that Col.
Lanphier's brother 1st 1t. Charles
w. c. Lanphier, u, a marine corps
pilot. has been prisoner of the
japanese.
The war department said II was
felt that up to now, any infor-
nation concerning identity Of
Yamamoto's destroyer might re-
suit in the death of 1t. Lanphier
at the hands of his captors.
CALLED FOR PRECISION
The war department said that
acting on information relayed to
commands in the southwest Pa
cific by former Secretary of the
Navy Frank Knox, Col. Lanphier
and a group of army air forces
fliers in P-2SS led by 1t. Col. John
w. Mitchell of Enid. Miss, de-
parted from Guadalcanal for their
rendezvous with Yamamoto on
