I have to admit I have had a hard time explaining why there were wrong information in that book.
Reading yet another chapter of Feux du ciel led me to search one incident that happened on the day before the ambush on Admiral Yamamoto.
Supposedly there was a raid on Henderson Field and Corsairs took off to intercept. Clostermann described how one Corsair pilot was shot down and was trapped in his burning plane when he crashed…and someone had to shot him because they could not save him.
Further reading found Clostermann talking about Yamamoto being aboard a Sally not a Betty.
This is how I finally ended up visiting this Website…

And on YouTube visiting Henderson Field…
Better resolution…
I am so glad I have read Feux du ciel once again 55 years later.
