The publisher of a disputed book about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima has confirmed a key source misrepresented himself and promises any errors will be fixed soon.
Charles Pellegrino, author of "The Last Train From Hiroshima," told The New York Times last week he was likely duped by Joseph Fuoco. Fuoco claimed to have flown on one of the planes accompanying the bomber Enola Gay, but surviving members of the crew said Fuoco was not on the mission and scientists and historians also doubted him.
Fuoco, who died in 2008, had said he was a last-minute replacement for flight engineer James R. Corliss. The family of Corliss, who died in 1999, had produced evidence that he was on the plane.
