 According to author Charles Higham in his 1940 biography, "Errol  Flynn: The Untold Story," and an April 2000 NEW STATESMAN article,  "The Missing Errol Flynn File," Flynn functioned as German agent  during the time he was in San Diego and Hawaii during the filming of  "Dive Bomber," and his Pearl Harbor pictures were passed along to  Facist agents. These controversial allegations remain unproven.
