Thought I'd share a few books I recently read and thought worth recommending.
This one 👇 covers the four (much mythologised) air-sea battles that made up Leyte Gulf in October 1944.
Suffice to say that no myths are left standing, even more so than @alanallport.bsky.social!
4 1/2 ⭐️

I remember seeing a story years ago where a prison cook was caught having stolen $1.2 million of fajitas over 9 years.
One week he took off sick, someone else answered the order call and was like "what are you talking about? We don't serve fajitas."
