Thank you, my dear Mr. Rising Sun. So here we have an officer with an unblemished career who retired being respected by everyone in his native country, who deeply esteemed his duty, who was a real tactical genius, who never hesitated to disobey direct orders if lives of his soldiers were jeopardized, and who won unambiguous admiration of his adversaries.

Bravo, my dear Mr. Gumalangi! I think that your result has established a new record here! My sincerest congratulations – please, proceed. It’s your turn now.
My dear Chevan, sceadugengan is the plural of sceadugenga and, as far as I know, there is only one of me.
Maybe the ability of a sceadugenga to shape shift causes confusion.
An honourable commander,.
he carried a suicide mission against much bigger force,.
James Doolittle?
this time the resemblance from movie (alec baldwin) as the Jimmy Doolitle does not solve the mistery man,.
I have no idea what Alec Baldwin has to do with Doolittle, but I do know who Baldwin is and if I was him I’d be offended by being mistaken for the mystery man.
Just to narrow things down, is the mystery man an Italian, or at least in an Italian uniform?
No, my dear Mr. Rising Sun, our special guest is not wearing Italian naval uniform – he is an officer of the Royal Netherlands Navy, more precisely he is Rear Admiral Karel Willem Frederick Marie Doorman.
Am I right, Mr. Gumalangi? You see, although those collar tabs are… not so highly visible on this uploaded photo we have in front of us here, his profile is sufficiently distinctive.
Spencer Tracy played Doolittle in “Thirty Seconds over Tokyo” which was the only movie worthy of the operation.
Wiki claims the Japanese killed 250,000 Chinese while searching for downed American airmen after the raid. :shock:
Alec Baldwin played James Doolittle in Michael Bay’s movie “Pearl Harbor” from 2001
:),. as again,. Herr Librarian solved the unsolvable,. :),…
be honest,. i am not good with photoshop,. or anything like it,.
Thank you, my dear Mr. Gumalangi. You know, uniforms are sometimes my only clue during this intriguing assignment. That’s why I think that this task will be much easier for you. After many a days we finally do have a rare color photo for our guidance!
Our mysterious personality always possessed truly elevated mental power, indubitable personal courage, innovative spirit and skilfull leadership during the war, but all these virtues were insufficent, because he never got a chance to receive the credit which was his due.
That uniform looks like something out of the Crimean War.
Oh, my goodness! Well… it seems to me that full dress uniforms, as a special military outfits reserved for parades or other ceremonial occasions are not so widely known, even if they were photographed in 1943.
The gold braid, etc. looks rather French, but I thought they were all blue rather than red. Sadly, the face means nothing at all to me.
My Lord, what happened with this world of Yours? Genuine Englishmen are no longer capable to recognize their own landmarks, eternal symbols of the fertile Empire, everlasting pride of the times when foxes or hares have had the honor of being chased by so accomplished hunters, unseen from the time of Nimrod to the present…
Bold remnants of the age when …the road was just a gypsy’s ribbon, looping the purple moor.The redcoat troops came marching, marching, the redcoat troops came marching up to the old inn door."
O tempora, o mores! :roll:
The Person’s face reminds me of bruce willis
this definetely not from the movie Die Hard,.
Hmmm… that’s an unsubtle hint if ever I saw one. Still, I’ve not seen No.1 dress with collar boards like that on a British uniform before, although I have seen very similar ones on some French uniforms.
