Byron Darnton (November 8, 1897 – October 18, 1942) was an American reporter and war correspondent for the ''New York Times'' in the Pacific theater during World War II. He was killed in 1942 by a bomb dropped from an American B-25 Mitchell bomber, the tenth American war correspondent killed in action in the war. Darnton's work in reporting on the war in the Pacific was respected by military officials, including General Douglas MacArthur, who personally reported Darnton’s passing to the ''Times'' and Darnton’s widow. == Journalism career == Darnton was born November 8, 1897 in Adrian, Michigan. His interest in journalism began in his teens when he and his family visited his uncle Charles Darnton, a drama critic for Joseph Pulitzer's ''Evening World'' in New York, New York.〔(''-30- : A Gripping Account of 54 War Correspondents K.I.A. in WWII 1940-1945'' by Doral Chenoweth ), accessed November 5, 2007〕 After leaving high school in 1917, Darnton signed on with the American Expeditionary Force and served in World War I〔(''Time'', Nov. 2, 1942 ), accessed November 5, 2007〕 before returning to the United States and entering the University of Michigan where he joined the fraternity of Sigma Phi.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chapter IIIThey Call Them War Correspondents )〕 The ''Sandusky Herald'' in Sandusky, Ohio provided Darnton’s entry to the newspaper industry, followed by a stint at ''The Baltimore Sun''. He also provided several short stories to ''The Smart Set'' magazine, then edited by H.L. Mencken. Mencken attempted to convince Darnton to shift his attention to writing fiction. Instead, he went on to write for the ''Philadelphia Bulletin'' and ''Philadelphia Evening Ledger'', then in 1925 moved to the ''New York Post'', where his work on the rewrite desk earned him the moniker "The All-American rewrite man."〔 Then, after a period as the Associated Press city editor in New York, he joined the staff of the ''New York Times'' in 1934.
