> The message, passed instantly along the chain of command, was instrumental in finding the Bismarck, which was first spotted from the air by a seaplane... My wife's great uncle, Tuck Smith, is the person who spotted the Bismarck. Since the US had not yet entered the war, his being in the air that day was, literally, and act of war. It was years before the truth came out. He was patrolling in the Pacific on 7 Dec 1941. Looking for the Japanese fleet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_B._Smith https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_B._Smith
