I suspect that the reference to the "Mitscher Method" of turnip juice extraction is bogus. I can't find this anywhere else after a fair bit of Googling.

Naming honor

NAS Miramar's airfield was called "Mitscher Field," in honor of this pioneer naval aviator.

Falsified AAR

Does anyone know the reference for the bit about Mitscher falsifying his AAR at Midway? I've never heard this before, couldn't find anything about it in the online references, and a Google search turned up nothing.

Agreed. A reference is sorely needed since Mitscher was, in the words of the great John Keegan, "a master of fast carrier operations", this alleged falsification is a major blemish to his reptuation and an accusation of this gravity should not be made without sources. Jonathan Chin
