Aren't you talking about someone else? As I recall we intercepted,
via radio, and de-coded Yamamoto's itinerary. We then sent a flight of P-38s
to intercept him as he flew into one destination on his route. We shot down
his airplane and killed him.
Yamamoto was their best Naval officer and the mastermind of Pearl
Harbor. We didn't hang him.

BTW, our P-38's interception of his plane was made to look accidental as we
did not want the Japanese to know we had broken their most secure cipher.
