Japan To-do:

There is no evidence that Joe O'Donnell shot this photograph and it is highly unlikely that he did. O'Donnell for at least 20 years claimed credit for many photographs he did not shoot -- from portraits of Truman to Jackie Kennedy, JFK and many others. He claimed to have photographed Lyndon Johnson's swearing in on Air Force 1 although the sole photographer present was Capt. Cecil Stoughton, an Army photographer assigned full time to the JFK White House. O'Donnell claimed credit for photographs shot by famous photographers and more anonymous ones, but in the case of the latter their names were recorded. O'Donnell has been throughly debunked, including evidence that he falsely claimed credit for photographs from Japan. This is one of them and it is beyond plausibility that O'Donnell made it. His book on Japan 1945 is a historical falsehood and it is impossible to determine when or where some of the photographs were made. And there is ample evidence that O;Donnell made false statements. 69.120.49.117 22:37, 6 October 2007 (UTC) .
