“Just” Editor of Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo?[edit]

The following is a quote from the American Film Institute Catalog entry on Thirty Seconds over Tokyo, saying that the onscreen authorship credits are wrong.

"Onscreen credits list Ted W. Lawson and Robert Considine as authors of both "the book" and a "story" in Collier's magazine. Lawson was the sole author of the book Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo , however, and Considine is not listed in contemporary sources as Lawson's co-author in any published Collier's story or article. In the credits of the copyright cutting continuity, which was submitted two months prior to the film's release, the word " Collier's " is crossed off, leaving the word "story." Considine did co-write an article with Lawson entitled "Birth of a Book: Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo," which was published in the 19 Jul 1943 issue of Time magazine, but it is not known if that article was a source of the film, or if Considine, who was an M-G-M contract writer, merely worked on a story treatment with Lawson. In addition, War Department records, Bureau of Public Relations, contained at NARS, indicate that the file on the film included galleys for a Collier's article by Lawson entitled "Aeronautical Engineer," but it is not known if that article was used in any way, or if it was published under another title. Lawson book, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo , was first published in Collier's between 22 May and 26 Jun 1943."

This same issue exists in the Wikipedia biography of Ted Lawson, under the heading "Author". No source is cited for the co-authorship concept in that article. Judging by the book cover displayed there, Considine deserves an editing credit, but there is a world of difference between co-authoring and editing.

I would not trust the very entertaining comment in TIME about his prolific ghostwriting without additional confirmation. AFI clearly put some effort into their research.

Lawson is not described as sharing authorship with anyone on either the Official Website of the raiders or that of the Children of the Raiders. Merry medievalist (talk) 20:30, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Update On February 14, 1954, in an article headlined "Great Men and Events for Younger Readers" The New York Times' subhead credits Considine as editor, not co-author. Merry medievalist (talk) 03:43, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
