Chronicles
From An Historian’s Notebook: Netaji’s Treasure Box
He gets into an airplane on the island of Taipei, and is about to escape, when his plane crashes during attempts to take off. He’s severely burned, and dies soon after. The British imperial government of India, his immediate adversary, gets the news, but is cautious about believing it– after all, it’s perfectly possible to stage your own death, and then reappear at a later, more opportune moment.
