Glossy 10 x 8 photo, signed in black felt tip by by Roger Ames, Delton Goerke, Julius Jacobson, Doug Canning, Besby Holmes, Rex Barber, John Mitchell, Larry Graebner and Louis Kittel. Yamamoto was killed on Bougainville Island when his transport bomber aircraft was shot-down by fighter aircraft of the United States of America operating from Henderson Field on Guadalcanal. The mission of the U.S. aircraft was specifically to kill Yamamoto, and was based on U.S. Navy intelligence on Yamamoto’s travel plans in the Solomon Islands area. The death of Yamamoto reportedly damaged the morale of Japanese naval personnel and aided the morale of members of the Allied forces fighting Japan. In fine condition. R&R COA.
