Claims that SS Empire Drum was sunk 250 mi east of Cape Hatteras by "a Settembrini-class Italian submarine"(Chapter 3, p. 22). Apparently some Italian subs had the range (see Calvi-class submarine#Enrico Tazzoli) but Uboat.net attributes the kill to U-136, as do Hickam (p. 300) and Rohwer (1999, p. 91, "Atlantic Ocean and North Sea"). I find this dubious at best. I haven't yet seen the endnotes of the book, so perhaps some extraordinary evidence is offered there, but it seems unlikely as the main text does not even mention that this is a controversial attribution.
