	: Commander Thompson's report (he was captain of the Itasca but his rank was Commander) to the commandant of the 14th Naval Distict is dated 29 July 1937 and he does say that he "Commenced laying heavy smoke at daylight." However, in his much more detailed report to the Commander of the Coast Guard's San Francisco Division (his own boss) he clearly gives the impression that, at the time of Earhart's presumed closest approach to Howland (between 8 and 9 a.m.) "Itasca was laying down smoke screen stretching for ten miles. Smoke remained concentrated and did not thin out greatly" (page 43 of Radio Transcripts Earhart Flight). That impression is almost certainly false and misleading.		: Commander Thompson's report (he was captain of the Itasca but his rank was Commander) to the commandant of the 14th Naval Distict is dated 29 July 1937 and he does say that he "Commenced laying heavy smoke at daylight."
