If I'm not mistaken, Mitchell certainly did not die during WW2, but years earlier; in 1938, I believe? His last words were supposedly more than a little bitter, as that the American military had ignored him and would someday pay for it...
BTW, one of the officers on his courts-martial was none other than Douglas MacArthur. MacArthur claimed years later that he had voted for acquittal, but I don't think that we will or can ever be sure on this one, as the "jury" deliberations of this courts-martial were secret... I suspect that MacArthur was just being political here; even so, I admire and respect him in other ways (his Inchon landing was a masterpiece)...
