| Evidence: | 'I read "North to the Orient" by Anne Lindbergh. I imagined they had flown over the top of the world! But actually it was via North Canada, Alaska, Kanchatka, and the Kurile Islands to Tokyo and Hunkow. The Nipponese were kindness itself. I don't think they met the Nipponese High Command.' |
